In Romulus near the NS diamond CSX services a small chlorine dealer that gets a few tank cars now and then especially in the spring when pool supply stores are busy. Anyway, there are several RBOX hi cube box cars on the spur by the tank car unloading dock. Anyone know why the box cars are parked there? It’s a long spur so if they are being staged for another customer they would not have to be pushed back as far as they were.

49 and 5305 going east passing

P371 through New Richmond at 7:03am. The fog is so thick that I didn’t hear the train until about 30 seconds before crossing the bridge. Never heard horns at 136th or 55th.

Good morning, Don. The coal train with those pusher units is currently sitting at Wells, but there is no crew on duty.
