Saw a hot Z reroute train heading south through the Shasta line in Ogden earlier today. probably one of the last.

Curious if that doublestack is still in Eugene as mentioned in an earlier thread.

thanks to all for the updates.

I got the same message as well when logging on to the computer this afternoon.

The ZLCBR 20 is planned for it's normal routing up the I-5 corridor and they are adding people back to boards, so it seems like things are in fact getting ready to open up.

Yes it is - even with the UPS trailer still on it (hope it's an empty trailer).

My thoughts as well...hope those containers in the yard are empty! Will be happy to see them head down the line soon.
