The only online shipper between Bend and Chemult is a lumber / pole / log loadout in La Pine that operates sporadically. I believe it is sometimes switched by a turn out of Bend, but more often switched by a manifest enroute.
The grain train mentioned above is often a unit sorghum train from Canada to the chicken farms in the CV of CA. It is a monster with 2 sets of DPU's most times, and often runs with solid CN power. They are unpredictable and sometimes run on the UP over Cascade Summit, which is even more spectacular because they run in 3x5x3 DPU. On the OT it usually runs 3x2x2 or 3x3x1
