Wayne Ford plant
I noticed that every time I drive by the ford wayne plant that they are only loading auto racks on the east side of the plant, and not the west. I was wondering, when was the last time that they used the west loading area?

Amtrak Cascades NPCU 90230
Has anyone seen Amtrak 90230, the cascade NPCU? I have not seen it in over a year. Has Amtrak sent it back to Cascades services, or is it still floating around the midwest?
