"The Mill 5 Turn" depicts the morning run up to the mill at Dayton and return to town. Then they spot the loads at Mill 3 before tying down for the day:

I love shortlines so I have to give that video a thumbs up. It helps us who model current shortlines a better viewpoint of how they are actually operated.
