Handling of TriCor - Paramount shuttle service
Posted: Wed Dec 13, 2017 9:46 pm
Hello
I'd like to know how the tank cars between Mojave POC industry and Bakersfield TRI industry are (or should be) routed close to real life. I did some research on the web, but have not even been able to verify even the existence of such a service in real life - so my question may be unneccessary at all.
I am asking because cars finished unloading at POC get the tag BAK TRI, which is Bakersfield BNSF yard. The local LS910J which serves TRI seems also to start at BAK, so I assume the empties go from Mojave to BAK and from there by local to TRI, then back to BAK. But which they are sent back to Mojave?
Also read some information about a exchange service between BAK and BK, how do they work or which tags get exchanged?
BNSF does not serve Mojave, so either an UP service gets them there or they go over BAR to WC and then to MJ.
Also would like to know if this cars are sent in an unit train or get attached to Manifest service.
Thanks for any information on this!
Cheers
Thorsten
