Bruce K - I missed that tire incident. I assume you are referring to the "DED" (Dragging Equipment Detector) located just east of the McKenzie road crossing. One would think that if a vehicle hit the side of the train with enough impact to dislodge a tire, it would leave some marks on the car where the impact happened.
Thanks everybody for the feedback on the grain price situation. I figured something like that must be going on. BNSF and their people should be given kudos for providing the equipment and manpower to keep all of this moving smoothly!
Speaking of potash trains, one is going by RIGHT NOW (4/13 12:06pm) with 3 dash 9s on the point (BNSF, CEFX blue leaser, and CP) AND 2 BNSF dash 9s on the rear!
