The entire line is operated as GCOR 6.28 Other than Main Track and dispatched by Iowa Pacific in Janesville, WI(crews only require box 16 warrant verifying daily operating bulletin). Track is class 1 from MP 2 to MP 8.6, and MP 19.4 to MP 26. The rest is excepted status. The SCBT&P operates on SCMB from MP 19.4 to MP 20.5. As long as the following train can stop within once half the distance between them and the train ahead its not a problem. The MH89 with four empty tanks on fairly level track should be able to stop in about 60ft or less at 10 mph which would be ludicrous speed going that direction up Beach St.
