Caught CP 391 exiting NTW this afternoon with CEFX 1052 and 63 ADM cars in tow heading up the Hinckley sub, and ideas where he may have been heading?

I've seen two CP trains within the last year that were made up of ADM grain cars. I have know idea as to where these would go, because I know there isn't a ADM grain elevator in the Twin Ports, if that even makes a difference.

I have been told and seen at least one picture of a BNSF train at an ADM facility in/near St Louis with CP Power on it and think I remember something about it coming from the Twin Ports. I thought the symbol had something to do with the STP-STL, but I don't remember. I have seen at least three trains on the BNSF side of the river with solid CP power and cars, but I was told these were hops for Anheuser Busch in St Louis exchanged at Pig's Eye. I'm wondering if it's loads going up to the ports or going down to the ADM facility in St Louis though...inquiring minds want to know...

The ADM logo doesn't necessarily mean they still belong to Archer Daniels Midland.

The cars I've seen had UELX reporting marks, which is ADM, so they must still be owned by ADM.

That fits as the cars had both the UELX and ADMX reporting marks on them.
