Q327 west at Vine at 00:42 ET, clear Stevensville at 00:50. CSXT 993 leading. Train must be very short and cleared before I turned on scanner... or the DD just isn't coming in for some reason.

Lot of MOW work in the area on 7/10, probably some speed restrictions slowing this 327 down.

It was brought to my attention that the third unit is 3010, the Gainesville Midland sticker unit. Somehow I missed that.
