Did they stop by the Rouge to get their St Marys cars or take them to Jones first?

[Fred]

I doubt if they took any St Mary's cars to Trenton. My guess is that on the way back from Trenton they would go right to St Mary's to pull the outbound cars & take them into River Rouge and later on a crew would take the cars to be placed at St Mary's.

Well..... believe it or not Fred. The TR 5 took the few hoppers for St. Marys with them when they went south today, using them for buffers for the Jones cars. And then when coming back north went to St. Marys to pull and fill. Things have changed a little.
