The Max day crew has a unit empty oil train for New Town, ND, in tow as they begin the climb out of Shell Creek Bay, part of Lake Saskatchewan area about 10 miles east of New Town. This line has seen a huge increase in traffic due to the booming oil traffic in New Town. 6 axle power is now allowed to Max, ND, but 4 axle power is still used west of Max due to track conditions.
