Thank you! T001 has been showing up in Morton Grove anywhere between 9:15 and midnight. Most often it follows the 10:35 out of CUS when it passes A5. If it's out of Clearing Yard early and the they are ready to go North from A5, sometimes they highball behind the 8:35 out of CUS past A5. I found out today that there were two Northbound WSORs on Tuesday night. A grain extra left A5 around midnight. 

Is it just me, or did WSOR operate much more consistently (in terms of departure times) up until late last year?  For instance, the Janesville-Clearing (SB) used to pass through my area very consistently around 00:40.  I never recall hearing a NB WSOR before 02:00'ish [on rare times that I was up.]  The window was never more than about a 30-minute variation for the SB (can't say for sure about the NB.)

Now it's all over the map... and my sense of it is, this was even before COVID-19 messed up a lot of our commerce.
