Leo,
Again, lets stick with the truth:
BNSF runs Budweiser on a schedule. The Ore Empties at
Granite City are on a schedule, Budweiser sends about 10
to 20 cars a day on the front end. La Crosse crew will get
into the North and West end of Northtown. They will set out
beer on RE 13-14-15 tracks that can be only used for beer.
Then Superior crew takes the Ore Empties North. Early local
crew is given the exact cars wanted and when they get it
right leaves and sets the car out at Andover. On the way
back they get the empties. You run the whole thing with any
switch crews and no yard switching or humping.
Chicago? I'm sure some one has a plan with Budweiser, just
do not know exactly where. UP probably has it some where
around East St Louis.
