Then This afternoon after the Memorial Day services We headed out to Hershey, Pa to see if we could watch the loading of the animals for the RBBB Red Train. We got there too late. But we did get a picture of the train before it left for Harrisburg ot be combined with the Passenger cars of the train. We then headed down to Derry st. Crossing to see what was going on as far as loading the equipment on the flat cars. They were just getting the ramp set up when we got there. We could't hang out to watch the loading.
