The Spokane/Everett has changed in recent months but not sure why. For years the cars coming to the feed mill here on the B'ham Sub came either off the High Line or the MRL depending on point of origin. They got set-out in Spokane, added to the next Spokane/Everett and brought west. Once at Everett they were delivered on the next Conway Turn. Not so in the last 6 months or so. None of our cars are handled by the Spokane/Everett. All cars go via Pasco and around the horn via Vancouver/Seattle/Everett. It adds about 3 -5 days transit time depending when they arrive at Everett. We were told by the BNSF they are trying to eliminate switching in Spokane and Wenatchee.
