M396 is at Walton waiting for m397 to clear. Doesn’t look like a whole lot of WB in its way.

Tonight’s M394 supposedly has CN 3023 the EJE heritage unit and a KCS trailing. It’s following M396 but unknown when it will arrive in BC. M394 is usually an overnight train on the Flint sub.

Currently an X395 working Durand. Tail 115 cars are an empty grain train for HESR or GLC. They had to take the High Wye and then back in across the main. Should tie things up for a bit.

Side note: that’s gotta be the longest train to take the high Wye (also had 73 other cars on it) since that X148 with 200 empty wells on it last December. Very odd to see a move like this anymore.
