A late afternoon "Extra Industrial" job heads back towards the yard with nine empty hoppers from the Cargill facility at Sarnia Harbour. Four more tank cars will be lifted from the Imperial Oil racks off Christina Street before the job before the job pulls back off the spur into the yard. The Cargill complex is quite busy right now, and several more loaded cars of fertilizer were waiting in the yard in front of the Sarnia VIA station to head up to the facility.
