Good ratio chatter and horn salute and I was surprised that the engineer honked before the first crossing did not even go off yet unless there was somebody down there but I’m not sure

That horn blast was for the crossing just did it a bit earlier than usual,honestly I was wondering when the would start blowing that far back

The train was losing the pace as I think they had quite a number of loads in there today. The cut of ethanol at the back was 96 cars which is 11 over average to start with. The front end was a bit mixed up and may wind up going to IHB or CSX to get yarded. The ADM covered Hopper at the rear was their first colorful set of cars in a somewhat brighter blew that is now faded. Ironically some have been sold off and now carry phosphates

Definitely slowed alot apparently a heat restriction but was no longer in affect since they didn't know they slowed really was a shocker though
