Yah they probably held them there for a couple of trains so when you caught em they were Probably just getting started.penn central wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 10:29 pmOkay 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.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 10:57 amThese 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.penn central wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 10:48 pmDid anyone get the westbound unit potash train, I saw it when i was inside the Vlasic plant in Imlay City maybe headed to the HESR this was around 1800 hours it had two units one was a midtrain DPU two GE units one on the head end the other mid train, I know loaded potash normally comes out of western Canada but by the time the end of the train got by it was moving pretty slow like it was a loaded train there is a hill for westbounds on the west side of Imlay City.
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.

Q189 took the Chicago Wye WB at Durand at 12:00 from Moterm w the empty bare table train that they had stored at Lang Yard. I believe it showed up w a BNSF solo leader back in November.
