Back south at 7:02pm, WAMX 4125, two other locos and 65 cars. Shook the house decent tonight.

Looks like the elevator in Breckinridge had another 90-car grain train that went east/south yesterday. CSX cars. No run thru power although they did turn it around in 24 hours.

Grand Rapids Eastern crew tying onto their train, looks like 2 cars for Amway and 5 for King Milling. They have a signal to go east.

Re: Shortline Updates January 2021
If Breckenridge is a CSX certified elevator and they turn the train in a set amount of time they get an incentive that makes it rather worth their while. I know Standish is in the program. Don't know about Breck.

Re: Shortline Updates January 2021
I believe that any time they've had unit grain trains recently they have turned em around quick. Usually though I thought those came with the power on them to expedite things.

Re: Shortline Updates January 2021
MQT SB at Ann Street at around Noon today. Looked like 3 locomotives. Also at Ann Street, a boxcar was on the interchange track. Haven’t seen one of those in years. Standard Lumber?
