This is a video from a recent trip I made to Elkhart, Indiana to check out the Norfolk Southern rail yard there.
My first trip here saw the hump shut down relatively soon after I arrived.

So, I wanted to come back and get more cars being sorted.
This trip did not disappoint.
There is plenty of humping and more.
We will take a look at the different parts of the yard and how trains come and go.
Take a look and let me know what you think.
Here is a link to the real-time footage with no narration:
