Still there as of 20:53, looks like they are pushing or pulling thru the transfer track. As of posting this they have a clear across the diamond northbound.

17:10 - EB 2-unit A450 HU the 205 cam with Lansing set off on the head, then Pontiac/FR/Lang traffic followed by some Durand cars and then a 104-car empty G886 for GLC.

The EB G886 was terminated in BC and tacked onto this A450.

104 Parrish & Heimbecker grain cars.
GLC OSTN picked up this train and took it directly to MMRR on Monday morning for MAC in Breckenridge. I suppose it could have been an ONTN crew just dashing below the line to grab the train. IDK what they do in circumstances like that.
