Do these grain cars come in on a unit grain train and then get split up for separate trips to Lowell, or do they just come in on Q326 as part of the mixed carloads?

They come in on 326 or up the Grand Elk with the rest of the loose carload traffic.

E801 west by Wells, D802 at the Waverly Wye, about to head west, since Q327 just suffered an emergency application not initiated by the crew. They'll pump it back up and proceed per the rule book.

D802 will hole up at Wells "behind the train there".
