On Thursday of this week (7-7) I was at the state line truck stop in Canaan NY, When an eastbound CSX freight train went by on the nearby Selkirk to Boston mainline. The consist of this train was one that I had not seen on this line. It was a unit train of about 100 wheat or grain cars, all belonging to Canadian Pacific. Anybody have any knowledge where this train came from and where it was going? Thanks in advance for any response.

12,000 ton grain train, it gets handed off to Pan Am in Worcester. I'm not sure where they bring it, but it's a somewhat regular move.
