Flying Switch

Here's a video of a PRR local performing a "flying switch" (frowned upon by management, but necessary when there's no physical way to run-around a train to spot a car in a facing point switch). It was posted by Ed Calvello on Facebook's "The Newtown Square Branch & Cardington Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad." It's pretty neat. Take a look at the 37 second video here (I think you have to be registered on Facebook to see it):
