Date: 03/21/17 15:38 Re: todays maiden trip for the saugus local Author: cpkester This train reported he had 7 loads and 2 empties out of Gemco. The shoving platform accounts for one empty and since I am unaware of any of the places this train serves generating loads, is the other empty the covered hopper and is it serving as a buffer due to the hazardous DWP tanks?

According to their website, they make sodium hypochlorite. Perhaps one of the tankcars was an empty NaClO tankcar.

Can not wait until they start the destruction of Burbank Blvd bridge. They also are going to re design the Victory/Burbank/Costco road intersection. This will be fun.....

One or two tanks may be going to DWP/MWD but HASA gets cars every day so they may all be going there. The boxcars are going to ether Weyerhaeuser in Via Princessa or Phillips Plywood in Pacoima or one in each. There are no loads generated on the job.
