Per a friends video. It appears GLC 385 now sports an RS5T (Maybe even a S5T??) horn. A VERY good one.

GLC clear Lakeland NB at 5:45. 329, 395, 382 power. Mostly AOKX covered reddish brown hoppers.

Was this a potash train? Very slow going, much slower than would be expected from an empty grain train.

Yes. Unit train of soybeans for ZFS. They’ve gotta be out of local beans if they are buying from out of state.

[GP-35]

No, not out of local beans, most of the large co ops are dumping last years crop and cleaning there bins getting ready for this years harvest.
