Remarks: Its about getting the right cars to the right customer, the CSX-crew is performing a good job in Palmer on a cold November Day. I like these little scenes that depict everyday railroading around the country.
Didn't see a single kick. Good shots of some local activity though. Kicking is when they make a reverse move and brake the locomotive and release the car at the same time allowing the car to roll to a stop where it is meant to go. Kicking tank cars isn't allowed by the FRA.
