Local Trains Shifting Lebanon Chemical & Mainline Traffic!

After switching the GAF shingle plant in Myerstown, Pennsylvania, the H31 local heads to the next customer along the line: Lebanon Chemical. We'll catch two locals working here on different days, as well as some mainline traffic, including the evening westbound Triple Crown Roadrailer 261, which often passed by in the same time slot.
