This is not new as the grain growers at the McCoy and Ritzville loading facilities load their own with that device or a similar one to that here in Central/Eastern Washington.

Hoghead in a box.

New to me also; never knew they did this. I wonder how widespread this is. Interesting indeed.

No one has explained what's happening.

"No engineer" means no one in the cab? Or does it mean no human is anywhere around? If there is a human, where is he?

(In between the two MILW mains -- when did MILW
pull up the second track?)
