He's headed to the west end of Wells Siding mp CG43.3 to be the rear DPU's for N800-11 that had tied down there on April 12th with BNSF engines #8762 + #9110 & 130 loaded coal cars. At this time, this is the last of the 3 loaded coal trains that were tied down on the Grand Rapids sub-division & the only remaining BNSF engines, too (the other engines have gone back on empty coal trains).

Those cars are all in MOW service and some are past the 50 year rule and cannot be interchanged without special arrangements... they are the bottom of the barrel.
