    Moody Morning Meet

    Moody Morning Meet A WB grainer crept to the end of West Bates holding the main. Based upon the time I thought Amtrak would come and overtake them, but a check on the signals showed otherwise. Mere minutes later an EB manifest takes the siding. Soon afterwards the grainer departs sans...

    Canadian Pacific Business Train in OR/WA

    I later found out the Special used the 4107 to shove the garbage north to Juniper, where the SB manifest ran through. The FP9s continued to push the train into Wallula and dropped off the dead UP 5543.
