Chicago Bound
The late evening shadows have reached the railhead as CP #148-01 pulls out of Roberts Bank on the first leg of its journey to Chicago. On the highway parallel to the tracks, drayage trucks return home to their yards after dropping off outbound containers to the port.
This evenings train was of typical length for this spring at 11,800ft. Asian-American trade seems to be higher than previous years, as second sections of this train have been frequent over the past month, defying PSR doctrine that additional train starts are the enemy.
