Regarding this week's grain operations, G804-12 passed Brighton at around 21:00 on the night of January 14th. It was not spotted that night, instead left in Williamston. On the afternoon of the 17th, I had seen ADM crews filling the hoppers. That night a G803 ran to Plymouth and further south. I believe they ran a G077 job on the night of the 15th which just involved spotting the train at the plant from Williamston.

Great captures of some of the first cars from Coastal! Their pull from the other day was a TBOX high cube car and I was wondering if all of their inbounds were going to come in those. Your photos suggest we might get a little variety!
