The "Chewelah turn" (used to be the Kettle Turn) leaves Yardley Sun-Fri evenings anywhere from 8pm to 11 pm, and often returns to Yardley in the late afternoon. I think they leave the train up there and van to/from Yardley as needed. The train is still big - 80 to 120 cars. Power is usually GP40Ms, GP38-2, and even an occasional GP50.
Tobasco - I believe that the shortline operating the former Connell Northern branch has trackage rights into Pasco yard from Connell. Not positive as I have not seen their train in Pasco, though.
