15:50 South Bound 68z at Sandpoint Road. Train 68z is led by CN 8858 and BC Rail 4614. I believe this was a grain train. I heard this train call clear at Junction then Clear at Sand. Thought he was going West on the Chicago District. Happend to be driving on Sandpoint Road through my old stomping grounds and the gates came down. Was supprised to see this train.
