Jail NB at CP Cedar after P365 cleared shortly after 9:00.
1758/1751 with two tank cars for CN, 13 coils for CSX and one NS coil along for the ride. The NS coil is for a SB pick customer, Ambassador Steel/Harris rebar.
On 1/19 they came north with four boxcars for CSX, three boxcars for CN, one NS gon and one NS coil. The gon could’ve been for Alro Steel or another SB pick for Ambassador Steel or Harris Rebar.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2022
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.
