ADBF (the real) had a unit grain train from the MAC elevator. They handed it off Friday to NS. They have to split the train in two at the interchange point and then load in four cuts due to siding and spur length so as to not block crossings.

I’m not sure but I don’t think they use run thru power from NS for this move due to the time constraints.
ADBF EB to Blissfield with a Grain Train, just cleared Deerfield RD @8:40 pM headed to MAC
