12:45 - HESR 702 SB at Flushing with 3509/3415/3390/3484 - most like two of these will be left in Durand for the loaded potash train that GLC is bringing north today.
AARR did run a loaded potash train from Toledo to Osmer yesterday with CP 8915/CP 8101 on the NB trip. They went back light power after splitting the train in two.
