Someone just sent me a video of a train about sunrise at dort hwy with auto racks behind loaded wells. No idea what it was.
Q116 if it was EB? Otherwise maybe a Z147 if it was WB as the last few of those we’ve had they’ve thrown some racks on them.
Since 116 turns at durand I'd guess 147. About the right time of day.
