Nope, The Minnesota River was a Ex US Army car purchased from Amtrak.

As for the car in Lacrosse, WI I'm thinking 425 might be X425. It could possibly be the former MOW number?

Yes, the 4449 will be returning the same way it came from Chicago. I've heard that the 4449 will be cut off west of Michigan City somewhere, possibly CP 502, where the IHB main branches off the NS (NYC) main in Indiana Harbor. We'll be departing Durand at Noon (11am "Chicago"Central time) ...

Re: Rumor, South Shore Freight, confirm?

The 1000 was also facing the wrong way,( We had to run long hood forward both ways) When they turned the new cars earlier in the week, it left the 1000 facing the wrong way. It made it easier for my crew because we never had to uncouple.
