Hmm... d80109 was supposedly on duty, then got annulled this morning, so I dunno what's up with when you'll see the coal load go north.

Well that’s a bummer. At least there is still 326.

E800-07 # 05:42am westward was reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 544 axles & CSXT engines #989 leading + #586.

Ahh, I see Don’s post now. I didn’t go back a page earlier.

E800-07 @ 06:34:37am westward Bangor's W. Monroe St crossing mp CG60.72 with BNSF engines #6072 + #5731 + & 130 empty coal cars.

Per Bangor chat, buses and a freight locomotive have been called for P371. Can’t get PTC to re-initialize after collision.

Awesome picture J T

Thanks, Micah.

Track inspector rolling westbound through New Richmond right now. Not sure how far he’s going.

Q326 grinding up the hill approaching mp35:

hi jt heard rouge ym talking to mow - rouge said " they will run this afternoon" i didn't hear what train rouge was talking about I heard her talking to the track inspector, who had just rolled in from the west, but I must have missed that part of the conversation. An afternoon 327 would definitely...

327
650a/745a - nothing heard from 327 on radio scanner

Not running today? The power from yesterday’s 326 is sitting by the Wyoming yard office sans train.

Something blowing somewhere in Grand Rapids right now. No clue what it is, but it has a nice horn.

Back south with 4017, 4206, and 43 cars. Slowed down again a bunch behind the house, and slowly went over the Buck Creek bridge between 84th and 92nd.

What time did they head back south?

In general, the shutter speed should be no more than twice the FPS.

D706 should be rolling through Alto right now.
