Two crews on a Sunday!
Title:  Two crews on a Sunday!
Description:  On my way to Minneapolis for a job interview, I stopped by the IATR, expecting to see motors parked waiting for Monday. Not today! Two crews were working hard to put away dozens of stored hoppers on the Clear Lake end. Seems they had several inbound loads to the pipeline terminal in Clear Lake, and all these stored hoppers in the way. Here 50 is backing a string back into position.
