CN detoured a portion of their trains over the Grenada district. It could not handle all of the trains due to the jointed rails and lower speed limits. Apparently they held trains both north and south until the yazoo line opened. Since it reopened on Friday, there have been a large number of trains in both directions. They are still sending some trains (mostly genreal merchandise) on the grenada district. Saw one yesterday with 3 SD 40's and a SD50 still in EMD paint. Approx. 130 cars. This is an extremely uncommon occurance on grenada district. Grenada district line usually sees 4 to 6 trains daily. North of Jackson has increased since the Nissan palnt opened in Canton. <br /> <br />Also, media reports lawsuits are already filed in New Orleans. Imagine that! <br />
