The Ballast train will run north today, and should return tomorrow. It is W-SAGALP-21, return W-ALPPAI-22.
The Spreader will have to wait a day or two for the river to go down. The line to Greenville is closed in a couple of spots right now...
Ok, your RS20s are finished. Sorry for being late, but we have had our hands full lately with Chessie locomotives, rebuilts, and inspections. The RS20s will be shipped out tomorrow on BChF-1 and dropped off at the MONON interchange.

After the Monon gets it to New Buffalo on MQT, it will be routed on L-CHIGRR-24 (guess on date, if no delays) to Gran Rapids, up to Fuller on Y-GRR-EE3-24, then L-GRRGRE-25 to Greenville and interchange. They might be delayed to Greenville if the water is still high and any washouts are found.
sure it was stored in a shed after it was sold for scrap in 1955 and is in good condition the owner passed away and his kids found out that he owned a shed that they didnt know about and we purchased it along with caboose

Send those 3 cars to Greenville, and we can have our Wyoming Yard shop forces bang those out in just a few days. Consider it a favor in goodwill to keep in case we need something in the future.
