I was in the Ellensburg area yesterday, May 1, and one loaded grain train came through around 2 PM, followed by a manifest about an hour later, although it had to hold outside of town because eastbound grain empties were on the controlled siding. After the grain loads departed the manifest moved up for its crew-change, and went on its way. Then a 2nd train of westbound grain loads arrived. Next the eastbound empties departed. After that a 2nd train of eastbound empties arrived. Finally, the grain loads departed, around 6 PM. If this keeps this, they'll need a better signal system.
