Given how low (by Class 1 standards) manifest traffic levels are, I must say I'm a bit surprised they're planning to split it and IM into two trains. Are they just going to take the avg train length hit? Or tack some IM blocks onto the manifest?

223-10 was at least 75 wells/150 containers, DPU, and then nearly 80 mixed freight. 132 extra made it to Jackman around the same time 223 hit Greenville.

I would venture a guess that Intermodal originating at Lachine would go on the manifest so that they can focus on Chicago, Toronto and SJ. Just a guess however.
