Out Date: 01/10/17 13:02 Re: BNSF Gateway closure, MRL gets detours Author: irhoghead Sounds like adding more trains to the parking lot of the Hi-Line/MRL.

Billings/Cheyenne/Denver/LaJunta to the transcon? Date: 01/10/17 13:21 Re: BNSF Gateway closure, MRL gets detours Author: Utah5005 In the previous times this train has detoured via Idaho, Utah and Nevada. So I'm surprised it's not heading that route this time.

Yesterday afternoon BNSF stole most of the power off a VAWBAR here and sent it back to Wishram light engine with 4 Wishram crews on it.

Guernsey was empty yesterday, noticing Cheyenne yard is empty and seems to be kept empty. Nothing in the yard and crews are sitting on their trains until relieved.
