Great video! That's some nice action, there

Wow, I had no idea there was access to this location, very interesting and sceneric! The HERZOG train is not coal, it is ballast.

Nice video, Kent. Loved how the trains came to an end at the same time.

Herzog not only ballast but computerized at that. Doors open on cars by computer. Takes very few men to operate as opposed to old ballast trains.
