Those well cars where on 326 yesterday. They had a BO DO NOT LOAD Sticker on the west most car. I'm wondering if they are headed to a scrapper somewhere. Those are old the old CSX Sealand well cars.

On the topic of wells, any idea what the plan is with the ones sitting in Wyoming? I assume they're the same ones that were by Ivanrest a while back.

In storage from what I've heard. Intermodal loadings have been headed back up but still not near pre-Covid numbers.

[BL2-1843]

D70803 arrived at Oghiara west of Howell at 16:00 with its 15 car train, ran around it and backed into town to spot it in the transfer and then went back west to grab the 41 cars GLC sat off in the Howell siding within 90 minutes after D705 went west last night, and departed back to Lansing at 17:10, 4037+8350 on the head end.

If they're still identifying themselves as Q326, it hasn't be re-crewed. It usually will become a "D" job train i.d. if it gets re-crewed. So far, he has been rolling along non-stop.
