What's the deal with the BNSF coal trains?

[@FraserValleySouthern]

At the time, BNSF was in the process of replacing the bridges across Mud Bay, which required many long work blocks, so they made a deal to run the empty coal trains via the SRY Fraser Valley Sub and the BNSF Sumas Sub in order to keep the train sets moving back to the mines.

@@FraserValleySouthern does that mean they came through chilliwack?

[@FraserValleySouthern]

No, they went as far as Huntingdon, crossed the border at Sumas and took the BNSF Sumas Sub south.
