Most traffic is westbound. Currently there are 9 westbound trains sighted in the next 48 hours or so. There's a grain train approaching Portola now. Grain trains now often add a unit a Portola for additional dynamic braking. Typically westbound there are 1 or 2 NPRV manifests and anywhere from 0 to 4 grain trains daily, but there are a lot of variables. No eastbound trains sighted in the next 48 hours, but this can change.
