Another solid train of TTZX centerbeam cars was seen heading south out of Portland yesterday...either the fourth or fifth move of this kind in several weeks.
The majority (if not all) of these came off the Wallowa Union in eastern Oregon and came onto the UP at LaGrande, OR.
The lumber market has become very strong over the past few months requiring these cars to be returned to service. OPR customer RSG Forest Products at Liberal (OR) has been shipping five to eight cars a week lately.
Keep our fingers crossed that the trend continues!!!
