Which one was in the lead? I'm guessing they out their "best foot" forward (425 fully painted)

One will be in the lead on the way out, the other will be in the lead on the way back..
they dont get turned.

speaking of getting turned around ,if they have to, do they use the way just shy of Avon to turn engines around or is that abandoned and removed?

Northbound #421 leading #425 and 9 cars into Avon. Switched some cars in the yard and headed north. Southbound from Avon, #425 leading #421 with 5 cars south from Avon, after switching cars in Avon.
Cars sitting on the Kraft Industrail spur with more tank cars in the yard.

#421 & #425 slowly approached the downgrade into Avon yard from Lakeville this morning with 22 cars.

Northbound today with #421 and #425 and 20 cars into Avon. On the return today to the LAL is #420 fresh from the Bessemer Shops. Pictured on railfan is #420 is pulling a plow destined for the Finger Lakes RR. We may see #420 on the LAL as it reaches its own railroad later.

The wye in Avon is gone.

#420 is pictured on railfan? I'm sorry but I don't understand...

#420 was pictured on railfan.net in Andover NY, by Doug, on the WNYP, enroute to Hornell for the transit to Silver Springs and then onto the LAL. It had an NS Plow in tow that is destined for the Finger Lakes RR. #420 was not part of the southbound trip today. #425 and #421 south out of Avon after switching with 19 tank cars and a covered hopper.
