Does anyone know what types of trains run on the BNSF Gatway sub?

Everything I've ever seen in the Canyon or at Binney Junction have been manifests.

I googled the gateway sub to confirm if it was what I knew as the inside gateway in GN-WP days, and noted in Wiki that it also supported bare table trains.

Occasional oil trains as well, California-bound.

Most of the oil trains I see are UP/CP coming down the UP.

BNSF's U-CPELVP originates as a CP symbol in Alberta, crosses the border at Sweetgrass, MT, and runs via the Trunk to reach Levee, CA, where it's handed off for delivery to a terminal near Bakersfield.
