NS 25G down the S Line? Really??

[billworsham]

Does anyone know about the 25G that came down the s line through Newport today?  It is an empty autorack sitting in Asheville yard now, as reports indicate.  Re-route due to weather/washouts?

It is highly unusual to see a full train of autoracks on this portion of the s line.

Would 25G be heading for the BMW plant in South Carolina?

Some more details on this train are available from a sighting submitted by Jacob Gwinn on my site earlier today.  Here's the link:

Looks like some interesting power.

Again, highly unusual for an autorack to use this part if the s line.  The rail sightings site does not answer the question although I love how you can view a specific sighting!

25G has departed Asheville around 20:00. He has a TA to the S83 MP. NS 3242 is still leading. A reliable source says this this is an mty train, I saw a 21G baretable train NB in Greensboro yesterday. Maybe they are just moving some resources around.
