Turning the train
Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2014 5:24 amI notice recently that after 215 unloads, the entire train is pulled away and turned. Has the wye been lengthened?

Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2014 5:29 amYes Jim, the wye has been lengthened and the entire train can now be turned. I believe it was a 1000 foot extension.

Anyone know for sure?
