Hey Jay, crews run MacTier-Cartier and back. Parry Sound RTC in this case RTC is just telling this train to stage at Larchwood (West of Sudbury) for a cab to Cartier. The yard in Cartier was proll full of staged Eastbounds and no crews were available to go to Chapleau.

@Colin9781 They had a serious backup up there due to a dead DPU. Today there were a group of four southbounds & funny enough, a northbound in Craighurst has a dead DPU right now. They were cutting the train to open a hole for the ambulance crossing and probably all 4 southbounds will be going through. I caught the first two & one had military vehicles on it.
