We left a lot earlier than usual. Todays train was built up the day before and all the ingots were together. 368 brought me 24 cars that were in a pretty good order, so we decided to get on the road before the festival of freights and Vias started.

@PeepoConductor I suppose that was you getting off the engine. It was going to be a close and personal shot when you got back on the last car so not being sure if you wanted such a cameo I turned the camera around to give you some privacy. I almost missed this move, as I was packing up from 61 going by when I looked up and saw a green on the east signal, no VIAs coming east this early in the morning so that could only mean 532 was coming, unpacked and setup again, I wasn't disappointed!

@BrockvilleRailfan oh yeah, that was me! Don't mind the cameo haha, I know there are some guys that don't like them, but doesn't bother me. You get a small snippet of me finding a relatively comfortable bench to wait on while we pulled.

Ah, they did take their Dyno Nobel cars with them.

@PeepoConductor Dyno sure is a shell of what it was when I was younger. It's stuffed with Ingredion cars now and who knows how much time it has left as an actual customer.

@GEES44DC the ingredion/ CREWS/ Dyno shuffle is mildly annoying. Take cars from ingredion, then they go to dyno, then back to ingredion, then crews, then back to dyno in a span of 2 weeks haha. Dyno seems to be taking a steady 15 - 25 cars a week, there hasn't been much out ingredion-wise at dyno luckily.

@PeepoConductor They used to take loads of anhydrous ammonia in and fertilizer loads out in hoppers. KF63 used to be the Ingredion storage track. The guys had an easier time with the run-around that used to be on the KE61 spur. Dupont, now that's a shell. They were a 5-6 day a week spot and that place was stuffed. Praxair got the odd car before it closed, and the warehouse was 6-8 cars 5 days a week. Cardinal and Morrisburg was done by a Cornwall to Brockville job. Heck, the CP interchange used to be done in their yard by the overpass. How times change.
