This is my second time visiting the Norfolk Southern Coal Dock in Sandusky.
The first time I only caught the gondolas being emptied.
This time we watch and see all the steps needed to load the cargo ship Lee A. Tregurtha before it heads out onto the Great Lakes.

Here is the first video I shot here which details the process of unloading the gondolas and how everything works:
