SB at Birmingham at 8:50. Had a few mixed up front and then the rest were grain cars.
Chris,

This train was a G807. It originated in Louisiana, similar to the G889 that ran later yesterday, and was handed off to the NS at Oakwood Yard, destined for one of The Andersons facilities.

That would be two grain trains and a sand train in one day. Hump Day = Unit Tren Day on Flint Sub?

3 center beams at the Bolyard Lumber transload on the Pontiac Beltline. First time I’ve seen 3 cars at same time. 3 is about all it can hold.
