REMINDER: RBBB Rail Transportation Routings (RTR’s) and Times are made in advance and Subject to Change (STC) without notice as the host railroad(s) require. ROUTINGS AND TIMES ARE UNPREDICTABLE, a lot can change during departure, although the CT’s are to run ahead of schedule if the host RR’s can accommodate. Crew Changes, Service Stops and Consist Rearrangement can occur anywhere or anytime along the route at the discretion of the operating/transportation officials.

“The Network” will try to provide the “Projected Routing” (NPR) when and as data is received.
The BNSF dropped the Stocks on the Team Track, 23 rd Street and 4 th Avenue (just east of I-74) in Moline for unloading and the rest of the train went on to the IAIS Rock Island Yard in Rock Island, roughly between 28th and 38th Streets.
