Chips, lumber and empties
Since the log loadout at Fifield reopened my standard play when passing through the area on a Monday is to find the train there around noon. For various reasons my travels weren't going to allow for that timing or the Fifield routing today. I would be going through Bradley and Prentice.
I all but convinced myself I wouldn't be seeing the train today, instead checking in to see if there were cars switched that morning and staged to go back to Bradley. Arriving at Prentice I was quite surprised to see the train running around its cars at the siding west of the depot. The siding hadn't seen action in quite a while with a foot or two of dense snow drifts along its length. Tied on to the east end of their train BR401 pulls up to the depot where they will perform their air test before leaving town. April 10, 2023.
