Just a heads up, the train symbols do not change when the power runs back to Aldershot from Oakville. X422 also did not run to Mac Yrd from Aldershot.
A crew deadheaded from Pt.Robinson today Dec 25/15 to bring 421 from Mac Yrd to Pt. Robinson.

In the system power moves run as a Z symbol to show the power changing locations. If they stayed as an E 232 to aldershot and were delayed, it clocks against the metrics and generates delay cards. It’s splitting hairs really, nothing changes for the guys out in the field. They had a plan to run the X 422 to move the 2010 back to Mac with some traffic but I guess they cancelled that because it was Xmas eve.
