You are correct on the Plummer schedule. You can probably put a fork in the Fairfield for the summer. I believe that the elevator is empty until harvest and the fertilizer has probably been delivered. If they do go to Fairfield, it will likely be a side run on the way home from Plummer on a M-W-or F. The Tu-Th trips are usually when they go down for 13 or 26-car grain blocks. If they drop cars at Manito from the rear of their train on the way to Plummer, they will make the afternoon side trip.
On-duty time is 0900 or 1000 at Spokane. They are usually out at around 11 after making up their train.
