Absolutely! I find the consist fascinating myself and love to hear some sort of outline of what is on the trains. Even on the big lines but a mixed freight 9n cn that's 200 cars has a little bit of everything usually. On Michigan's wonderful shorelines and regionals its more personal and customer specific. A loaded beam here is much different for us on glc than cn or some other big road.
