Here’s a shot of Delray connecting pulling that empty tank train that came from BNSF to CN earlier this month. The CN symbol was U75445.

MQT NB at Ann St. in GR. Missed the lead but there were many (59-60) SHOX short covered hoppers. And Grand Elk is switching N.O. Ann St. GRE yard is kind of full yet. No EBs today so far.
