Remarks & Notes |
The 1st crew for this Mason City to Spencer B41 local spent all night switching in Mason and building 111 car outbound train. Then B42 cabbed in from Spencer at 7am to take the train west. Almost 3.5 hours since leaving Mason and the crew has made it 18 miles. Here the B42 crew on this B41 begins the 2.5 hour task of spotting and pulling CF industries at Tanks Spur. In the winter time these places go crazy cause the cold air condenses the gas making it easier to unload and transport the product. The crew has 39 to setout and about the same to pickup. These places kind of suck on a local cause the haz mat has to be buried and you don't want to hold this stuff the rest of the trip to do the work, so this work will be done behind a bunch of cars. The loads to spot are on the main, as the crew picks up the empties 1st. No fun this time of year. |
