One of the grainers they are running over Stevens derailed at Wilson Creek. They put 20 on the ground. Should pick things up on Stampede and Fallbridge subs for a few days.
And of all things, only 3 trains on Stampede today and they managed to jam up things at Ellensburg. 2 EB’s waiting on a WB.
Did we not have a thread a while ago about BNSF not using Stampede except for locals. Guess it just goes to show not all plans stay the same.
They have been running trains over Stampede for a couple of weeks now. Mostly manifests, bare tables, and mt grains (I think).
Got pictures of the WB this morning.
This may go along with the AAR anouncing that the mid FEB week had the best carloading week since DEC 2008. Maybe overflow traffic?
