Remarks & Notes

A violent thunderstorm is looming in the background as the local is heading for the siding to do some switching. About five minutes later SPLOOSH! and ten minutes after that the sun was out. Unsure as to why they use this siding to switch as Goshen has more tracks and is closer to the customer.
