| NS train 112 pulls out of Wentzville MO on 4 January after tacking a bunch of autoracks from the GMC plant on its back end. It's behind train 21T and headed for Moberly. The dispatcher has given it clearance to Benton City, 57 miles away, where it's supposed to meet an eastbound. Unknown at this point is that the train ahead, 21T, will die along the way, making a hash of things for the operating force. |
