Re: Shortline Updates - November 2021
Is the MQT back open at the Brohman derailment site? I feel like I haven’t seen many cars from MQT customers on Q327 this past week ![🤔](//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f914.svg)

Re: Shortline Updates - November 2021
I'm quite sure, yes. Last week Wednesday, I saw MQT going north through GR with over 100 cars, so one can only guess they took most of these north through Brohman.

Re: Shortline Updates - November 2021
JAIL's overnight crew went south to Grief/"Michigan Packaging" to switch out before going north to CN again. They grabbed 7 boxcars and took them back to Grief. It seems like traffic is flowing more heavily thru CSX and CN than NS lately. The CSX coils are coming from Cleveland Cliffs in Middletown, OH. I know that at one time I had mentioned that someone told me that the NS ones came from Jackson/Gerdau (which later turned out to be not true) but these CSX ones are all coming out of Middletown.
They have three coils for RSDC to pick up in Ensel Yard when I drove by this morning.
