    The first grainer just went through Rainier 12:30 this afternoon. There was two BNSF C44-9's 108 grain hoppers followed by another BNSF C44-9. The power was in DPU mode. It took eight minutes to clear "A" Street.
    While these photos aren't of the first train they are representative of the unit grain trains on "A"Street.
