As I mentioned when reporting the G804-26 grain empty for Webberville with two forward facing units, The crew did not spin one of the units around at Plymouth before leaving like the last crew did on a grain empty with two forward facing units, so somebody will have to something somewhere before the load leaves eastward. (unless they run them long end forward which has been done before) Consider them spun.
