Toyota will shut production down at TMMI for 3 months starting in August. This is going to have to affect the NS operations through Princeton.  I have heard that train 115 has been axed with those cars getting added to another westbound such as 239.
Also, for the first time since I have been rail fanning in Princeton, I saw a WB train with stacks on Sunday. Train 224 came through town with a long string of double stacks and one lone auto rack. Perhaps NS is going to reroute some traffic to make up for the loss of Toyota?

TRNBUF

That will take away a few trains here in Illinois...just when the traffic was getting good.  :(
