Considering there are still thousands of BN green hoppers floating around, they could be going anywhere. GRE, MQT, GDLK, WMI, Vandenbosch, Webberville, Detroit are all places I have seen them go.

Thank you for the information I must say I don’t see a lot of them where I’m at but then again I don’t see every train and every freight car.

Unless I am wrong, I haven’t seen GDLK bring down loaded BNSF grain cars? I’ve seen mostly NS covered hoppers. From railfan YouTube’s videos, GDLK brings up empty green BN grain hoppers one day and brings down south again
Majority of the grain cars I’ve seen on M326 will go to GRE -> IAIS, BNSF, CP, ATW, UP
