Nope, I'm just as confused. I'm not really sure exactly what this means for Raven's operations and the FEC intermodal. The story got me wondering because FEC train 109 usually has a large block of Raven TOFC.
If shutting down the OTR division means an end to that, I'll miss seeing that traffic. I saw a 109 one night that had so many Raven trailers on the head I thought it was going to wind up being some sort of extra move just for them.
