Does anyone know anything about what’s going to happen with NS 4000 that came up on E260 last night? I wanna guess it could end up on A450 but I could be totally wrong…

E274 EB w CN 2881/2562 ff by 205 cam at 12:15
E274 arrived at Durand on M1 at 14:00 and then backed into the yard to pull some cars that had to go east to Sarnia. With L500 combined with A492 today, someone had to pull the EB cars out of Durand.

These WB potash trains are symbolled B731. They are usually 103 car blocks for a total of 206 cars and it seems like they have been running with a mid-DPU set up as the temps have dropped.
B730 runs up and over the Great Lakes thru Canada and we get the empties run thru the US. In Canada they run them 2X2X2 loaded with 206 cars.
The siding at Imlay City is the only one that can fit these trains between PH and BC. I believe there are two between BC and Chicago that are long enough to fit these trains.
Okay thanks for the info Lansing Railfan oh yea those units where struggling the train was down to about 10 mph over Blacks Corner Rd on the west side of Imlay there is a grade for westbounds there. But with 206 cars and only two units that's understandable.
Yah they probably held them there for a couple of trains so when you caught em they were Probably just getting started.
Nope sorry Lansing Railfan the head end went by me at track speed by the time the end got by me it was down to about 10mph i would've responded sooner but i just noticed. I started going to Durand in 1989 and Trowbridge in 1991 i used to know every train symbol but the last 10 to 15 years i have been very lax about paying much attention to train symbols.

Earlier a WB solo CN L501 was thru Durand at 17:21 on M2. They did not work Durand. Unknown if they are working Cory Yard as E251 already did.
