It isn't Villamont.  The line is straight through there and there were weeping willow trees.  Also there was a center siding there and an eastbound main, none of those switches and sidings fit Villamont.It is definitely a pusher backing up.- Ed King-----Original Message----- From: NW Mailing ListSent: Thursday, September 17, 2020 9:14 AMTo: NW Mailing ListSubject: Re: N&W 2157I concur about Villamont.
