A southbound manifest knocked down the signal at the north end of Carr and enters in to the siding to meet a northbound empty grain train. The crew on the manifest will ask the crew on the grain empty to let them know when their last car is clear of the grade crossing. The crew on the manifest is calculating their train length as they believe there is a discrepancy from their train manifest. Their suspicion was correct, as the manifest showed 4,600 feet and the actually length was 5,700 feet. Turns out the discrepancy was due to a technology error with their (electric) manifest. A quick call with UP support got everything straightened out.
