Yes, grain loads are moving over Stampede Pass. At least they were 4/24 to 4/26, when I saw one each day. They might move another one at night, but I would be surprised. I would say, one or two a day, tops.

Go here to see pictures of three days of loads and empties:

If there are "many, many" 10 mph slow orders, I haven't hear it mentioned on the radio.

There has been continuing maintenance done since reopening, especially wooden tie replacement. There was a bunch of new ties spread along the track west of Ellensburg a couple of weeks ago.
