Where was the start of this grainer? Looks like it could be one of ours down here in Texas.

The ones that probably come down by you are Pontiac to Pittsburg TX or Allen IL to somewhere in Texas. They are always running those. SP power on the one up at Pontiac right now. Should head your way if you live in Texas. Is there like a Mack-a-dosha Texas? I remember seeing something like that on the line-up but don't remember the spelling.

We have tons of grain movements down here that come from more then just where you are. I'm not near Pittsburgh Texas which is eastern Texas.

The grain trains we get are no less then 130 cars or more because the demand is so healthy down here.

Most of the trains we get come from Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Iowa, and where you mentioned though they all are for export usually. I think there was a grain train which originated in Galveston and went up to Wichita Kansas. But again that probably doesn't exist anymore or it was just a symbol I've heard from fans.

As for the 90MACs they seem to be on a lot of our trains going in and out of here. My guess is UP like everybody else is getting bashed by the shit economy and is using whatever they can to stay afloat. I saw a MAC the last time I was at Spring Junction on an outbound north out of Spring. It seems to me anyway railroads realize they have to use whatever is available because fuel costs have gone up at least a dollar in the last two weeks
