117 is listed as Homewood to British Columbia. What kind of a strange route is that? Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to grab video of it

Edited: Also there’s an X388 on the docket today. OD after lunchtime today in BC. Whoops.

The BNSF power it came into BC on was swapped out for a CN 56xx unit.

395 by 205 at 1205 with 2 cn. The 117 ahead was fully loaded. Single cn leading and another buried in the trail. All over seas traffic as you'd expect. A good portion was blue cans from the same carrier.
