P371 with 115 and 3 Supers clear Wells at 0855, running a few min behind. Anyone know if D700 is following? I heard the dispatcher trying to contact them in GR as I was leaving home around 7:35 but never heard any follow up.

Dispatcher just told a track inspector in Holland that a coal train is coming but there is no power to push them up the hill. D'oh!

Edit: just saw paragraph's update with 700 listed. Hopefully they'll make it to where I am before I have to work. :-)

:
D707 working in Lake O at 10:15. CSX 4049 leading today. They cleared Woodbury at 09:45. Left about a 20 car train tied down on the main back by ch 117. Dropped 1 cryo trans reefre on the team track for twin city. Picked 4 reefers up. Looks like they may have 2 cottonseeds to pick up or they already dropped them off. Not sure. Either way they still have a two mile shove back east to their train.

edit:

Shoving east back to their train at 10:40. Got a couple things wrong earlier. 1. They did some more switching at twin city and ended up leaving 2 reefers and taking 3. They left 2 loads of cottonseed and picked up one empty. .

D707 west clear at ch 118 10:56

D707 CSX 4049 long hood forward leading 28 cars west through Lake Odessa at 11:00am

Please do not poke at the ramp agent because he has the power to make your vacation
memorable or miserable. It all depends on what flight you bags go on.

Are you referring to the autorack train being Q321? If so, that is not right. Q321 is a southbound and a general freight (so it wasn't your NB mixed if that is what you meant). The autoracks were probably Q241 or Q231.
