L570         
The Grenada to Jackson local comes back into Grenada going by my house with 110 cars. The head 3 cars are from International Paper at Winona. This train would go to work at night and make a turn to Jackson 6 days per week, covering 222 miles, switching up to 10 customers, handling up to 140 cars, and do it all in less than 12 hours. Engineer Willie Pullen, Conductor Wayne Bishop, Brakeman Lee Knight.
