I'm not familiar with the cars you can see on GR Sub trains, so humor me: does 326/327 carry autoracks? I've seen the pair once but never saw any racks in the mix.

The GR Sub trains majority of the time pulls tankers (all varieties), boxcars, gondolas, flatcars, and centerbeams. Sometimes, loaded coal cars and empty autoracks are pulled as well. Thinking the auto racks are along for the ride and for storage. The loaded coal cars that are on 326 will be pulled by L301 to Holland.
