L514's crew built an outbound intermodal at Moterm and then dropped it at Pontiac for the next crew to take to Markham. L514 tied down in Pontiac I think last night.

L514 builds the train at Moterm, takes it north to Pontiac, sets the train out, and L514 then returns light to Flint. This is a very efficient process and eliminates the need to cab crews between Moterm, Pontiac, and Flint. Last night, the extra intermodal was on its way about an hour after L514 set the cars out in Pontiac.
