Good catch Warren !

What RR is the container traffic coming from and where is it going?

Was it a mix of container traffic and other traffic like general freight, or coal?

Indiana RR and Canadian National have an agreement for container traffic to/from Indianapolis.

Nice catch. Good to see some images from this railroad!

"Was it a mix of container traffic and other traffic like general freight, or coal?"
The tip I got said there were 13 container + 101 mixed freight. The mixed freight was mostly tank cars, many for LPG. Also several cuts of CSX hoppers loaded with coke. Maybe half-a-dozen covered hoppers for plastic pellets (Or similar lading.) along with 3 small covered hoppers for heavier loads. There were 2 boxcars and one covered gondola. The majority were tank cars. Didn't see any coal or empty coal hoppers in this train.
