A Tough Yard and a Swashbuckling Yardmaster
Callahan fears the Benkleton yard will descend into chaos as cowboys harass switches and lamps fail. Shockley arrives as new yardmaster and wins wary support by steady daylight work. Chris Oxen, a former laborer, rises to foreman with Shockley’s help, while Callahan weighs risks of drinking and danger in a volatile frontier yard.
