BNSF 6603 Westbound GANDPTN9-01 East of Rutledge MO 2
At 5:30pm 8 westbound trains were west of Ft. Madison on the Marceline Sub. 3 of them were Z-trains that needed to be sorted out. The dispatcher also had a tie gang just clearing up at La Plata and 2 eastbounds. Traffic slowly moved west as he sort hot traffic to main #2 at Baring and slow traffic to main #1. Amtrak would also be in the mix only a hour out Ft. Madison. Here a loaded grain train roll thru the sag east of Rutledge trying to stay ahead of the ZWSPSBD right behind them. This farmer has a good collection of "stuff" along the tracks.
