I wonder if it will make it to Lowell in one trip or if it'll need to take it in two sections

Also, 10 wheaties in the run-around at Ada. GRE sure has been getting a LOT of cars. Wonder if King is buying up grain at these low prices and low car storage rates? Rolling silos all over the GRE right now!

All 3 tracks south of Lowell, including the mainline are loaded with covered hoppers. Most of the tracks in Lowell as well, including one track north of M-21. I have checked Ada to see if that track is still full. May have to reopen the line to Greenville just for King Milling car storage!
