Eastbound moving to the CSX from NS at CP-482 at 10:31 ET. Maybe Q326?

Haven't been on rail stream in quite a while, looks like the Chesterton radio feed is now gone.

We assume you're talking about Plymouth, but it'd be nice if you let us know for sure. "Main St" is a common name, as is "Mill st".
