Eastbound Canadian crew with 394 arrives at IP late Monday afternoon and goes on their rest. US crew
operating as a turn takes 394 east to Berlin and swaps trains with the crew that brought 393 up from
Lewiston Jct. Each crew then returns to their point of origin, each arriving early AM. When the Canadian
crew at IP completes their rest Tuesday morning they take 394 west. the cycle repeats again on Thursday
and Friday and as the weather gets colder and gas traffic picks up they'll likely return to four trips a week,
Mon-Tue-Thur-Fri. I typically hear 393 go west through South Paris between 8 and 10 PM with the return
through eastbound about 5 hours later. From the time the crew goes on duty at Lewiston Junction it's
usually a couple of hours before they get to South Paris given the time it takes to do the air test, inspect
the train, get track permits, etc.
