Re: (erielack) Diamond and USPS delays

The train pictured is a Con Agra grain train that will go to Martins Creek 
via Portland. Con Agra had one set of green PTLX hoppers in unit train 
service to Martins Creek. These where loaded at the Twin Ports (Superior, WS 
or Duluth, MN) or the Twin Cities (Mpls/St Paul). The single Con Agra train 
was suppulmented with SOO Line equipment. In some cases if their was not 
enough Con Agra cars SOO cars where used to fill out the consist. On arrival 
at Portland the train was broken up. Only 26 cars could be spoted at Con 
Agra. The first 26 where taken up the hill, with the 0600 Job out of Bangor 
on the point and the 0500 job out of Bangor pushing to Steir. The rest of the 
train was then worked into the Yard Track between East Bangor and Bangor.
