Re: CN Train Location Updates: July 2022
Wanted to clarify that I edited this and added context to the mystery of the EB empty well train after the 2.5 trains worth of empty wells that went west overnight.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 8:48 amovernight review - all times MP 205 unless otherwise noted
22:41 - EB L542, BC to Lansing local job, with an intermodal empty well train with CN painted pair. They stored these in Snow Yard as there are several tracks full in BC. R934 had to work Cory before coming back and moving as much coal as they could into LBWL to make room for these empty wells.
02:31 - WB L542, BC to Lansing local job, with CN painted pair and 7 autoracks from Snow Yard.
WB X14931-05 was by the 205 cam at 21:56. There was no additional room in BC for these empty wells but when they were close to being out of time, Snow Yard wasn’t cleaned out and prepped for storage by R934.
EB L542 the BC-Lansing local symbol brought the wells back up and they are currently stored in Snow Yard. They then returned around 02:30 this morning with 7 loaded autoracks.
Not sure what is driving the empty wells…is it a downturn in intermodal traffic?
