Trains = Outbound trains will be departing on time. Terminals are taking inbound trains upon arrival.
Assets (Power, Cars, Crew) = Locomotive, car, and crew supply is adequate. At Yardcenter, the Terminal is currently short on Pacer chassis which may delay grounding the ZMXYC 11.
Operations= The UPRR has implemented the following alternative contingency plan to help alleviate congestion and improve service at our Yard Center Ramp. Northbound trains from the Dallas Mesquite facility will ground and notify at our Canal Street terminal. This plan will be in effect until further notice.
There will be a Track Renewal Train (TRT) running on the mainline outside of Global 4. This will have impact on northbound traffic out of the Terminal. Alternative operating plans are in place to re-route rail traffic around the affected area.
