To Load At Raven - One of the rarer catches along the Rockhouse Subdivision, a 110 car unit train is found up the branch at Raven with the 1100 recrew loading the second cut. I can count on one hand how many trains have loaded here this year, and so the shower of rain didn’t bother me while shooting.
