Westward?

The typo was fixed.

[SteveHiuzenga]

Technically that is not a generating station in Zeeland , but a substation.

[amessmann]

They generate electricity using a combination of natural and methane gas there so wouldn’t that make it a generating Station?

Are you saying they generate/collect the gas there? Or do they have a gas turbine there to generate power?

[Steamlogger]

Q326 power picked up the 6045 going to the main. Probably going to Chicago on tomorrow's Q327.

D700 had 60 cars at Lamar including the 32 coal hoppers with one ballast hopper about the middle of the hopper cut
