Easier to play catch up on it than the Watrous, that's for sure. Unless of course the Watrous is congested.

Train frequency is pretty high these days with all the crude oil trains, they have installed lots of CWR and track speed is up to 40 in many spots.

I hear it has improved a lot since I took this shot though.
