L507 south at Birmingham at 7:55. CN 2335 and CN 8868. They brought CN 3115 with them from Lang and left it in Pontiac.
Any idea as to what’s going to happen with 3115? Is it going to go south?

BC Rail red white blue unit at Pontiac engine service track

Bolyard Lumber received a box car last week. They get mostly center beams so the box car is infrequent.
