Also at Ann Street, a boxcar was on the interchange track. Haven’t seen one of those in years. Standard Lumber?

Saw that Boxcar on the GRE on Thursday, they didn’t take it with them when they brought a centerbeam to the CPMY though. Was it actually for Standard?

It's an empty. Car trace shows it was supposed to go to the GR as a load. Instead went to "Wyoming" I'm guessing Victor Barnes on Porter. Then it came north. Y297 left it on the interchange track to get it out of the way? Standard had a car that was routed NS to Memphis to CSX. They delivered it to CN. It went on hold until a phone call was made
