The Max day crew has a unit empty oil train for New Town, ND, in tow as they past MP 500 on the New Town Sub. The train has just pasted thru Prairie Jct, 31 miles west of Max. This line has seen a huge increase in traffic due to the booming oil traffic out of New Town. 6 axle power is now allowed to Max, but 4 axle power is still used west of Max due to track conditions.
