QUOTE: Originally posted by LostMTKid I'm no longer in the proverbial loop...but that does seem to be a reasonable assumption. There is some semblance of trying to assign AC power to coal and bulk (e.g. soda ash out of Wyoming to T#5 at Portland) and on the =LI screen (those in the know...know what an =LI is :) )it denotes which service a loco is assigned to...but in reality...due to the liberally-defined and often-abused policy of 'shop balancing' and uneven distribution of power across the terminals, the C45s could find their way into manifest, grain or even hauling company materials (tie & rail trains).
