NS 5225         
YPCA05 heading south on the Grenloch Branch, A.K.A. "Peanut Line", with a gondola from Sevenson Environmental, 3 box cars, and CSX 4425. There used to be an amusement park and picnic area at Grenloch Lake and peanuts were one of the favorite snacks for visitors. They'd throw their shells out the windows of the train on the way back to Camden covering the tracks with them, hence the nickname 'Peanut Line'.
