Interesting Gravity Drop switching move on the Youngstown and Southeastern Railroad IBCX 5152

Description

IBCX 5152 works storage cars on the Youngstown & Southeastern Railroad. The crew picks up a cut of covered hoppers off a siding in Boardman Ohio. The cars are short term storage for the Shell cracker plant in PA. They proceeded to the next siding to pick up 2 boxcars. The siding only has a south facing switch so the crew did a creative gravity drop to get the cars added to their train.

This was filmed last year but I am a year behind on editing. At least I'm posting fall videos in fall!
