Recently updated Google Earth imagery shows the YW 21 sitting on the main line a short distance of of Montague, out past the sewer ponds. I doubt it's moved since it moved the 19 out in March, if anyone knows different please say something. I can't see the photo you posted, Greg, but I'm guessing that was the field next to Hi-Ridge, my memory is that was not YW but a private investor who saw an opportunity after the incentive per firm boxcar boom went bust. YW did store some cars in the middle to late 2000s, nothing since.
No idea on McCloud. Nothing's been done there in a year now. Typical pattern there has been brief spurts of activity with long periods of silence in between, depending on large part on what's going on with other Williams Group properties and projects and who's available to go work in McCloud.
As for CORP, I cannot really see how the operation on the south end is viable in the long term given train sizes, butI get the impression there are additional forces at work that invalidate a lot of traditional railroad economics.
