A combo ballast empty is parked in the siding at Rutledge on the CP Ottumwa Sub. The train will park til a 14:00 crew could take it to Nahant this afternoon. The train will spin power at Fruitland and setout he CP 6223 at Nahant on the way. Not sure if both rock trains will go to the Portage, WI, area, but that's where the dispatcher said to the crew. The train had 80 cars and 5 motors, 4389 feet long. The 2nd motor, CP 6025 look fresh out of rebuild. Great looking consist!!!!
