Two switches in one day for Ingenia? This is obviously rare, but has this happened before under SOR operation? Doubt CN ever did that..

Myles, the crew basically spent the entire day trying to service Ingenia because of clearing switches and delays by CN. It appears they arrived at Brantford at 8 AM but didn’t head out of the yard until 1 PM or so. After the first crew ran out of time switching cars at Ingenia (12 hour clock runs out at 4 PM, as 496 is ordered 0400), a re-crew was sent to immediately relieve the first and they were asked to throw two more cars in before heading back to Hamilton.
