Eastern Railroad Discussion > CN's used as switchers

 Back on May 14th I got an invite to bring my drone down to Minerva, Ohio and do a few fly overs of the two CN's switching at the south end of the yard.This is the loading of the silos with fracking sand for the Utica Shale operation through out southeast Ohio, today the CN’s were used as yard switchers to move the empty hoppers around to make up a return train for more sand. A few photos and a video of this facility.Thanks, Alan photo 1 the CN’s about to go on dutyphoto 2 the two CN’s move out to start the switching operationVideo is a low level fly over with a high flight at the end
