Two Yellow Menace GP38-2s switch a train of container cars

I didn't stop at Brooklyn Yard for too long today, but I was there long enough to see a train pulled by a pair of Yellow Menace GP38-2s pull out of the yard and head northwards. (And, while I was waiting at the bus stop, I got to see that entire train turn around and back down into the yard after getting as far north as the Portland Traction interchange. I presume the Albina Yard dispatcher realized there wasn't anywhere to actually put this train and phoned in an "Aaack! Retreat! Retreat!" order.)
