394 didn’t. 450 was working Cory.

This EB rack train w 2 UP was E274. There’s another one coming soon. It was about 6-7 hours behind this one you saw.

The WB intermodal from Pontiac was Q119 - headed to Vancouver, BC.

[David Lang]

We had a Q117 on Sunday and a Q119 today. Time will tell if these trains become more frequent, because up to this point, I would say we would see "maybe" one or two of these extra trains per month.

Whatever the frequency, we'll take it!
