At 1515 hrs, Y106 the Slug Express with foamductor aboard arrived back at Wyoming Yard behind GP40-2 #6413, 30 Slug #2227, 3 covered hoppers and 7 tankcars.

CSXT #445 was tied down alone facing west near the Mobil. When did the new eagle eye camera go up on the pole beside the Plaster Creek box?

We noticed the camera a few weeks ago.

This isn't really a real time location update, but while at Romulus, I was (somehow) picking up chatter from Plymouth on my scanner. S385 was there switching. This held up traffic in the area and the dispatcher sounded stressed. Both Q231 and Q506 were trying to get around the stopped 385, and it took some tricky maneuvering to do so. Additionally, Q276 was in the area too which further added to the congestion. Eventually, all things quieted down after a bit and all was good by the time their conversations became out of range (around 1730). Also, I ran out of time to see this train, but something was at NE Carleton at around 11,000ft long at 1715. Does anyone know who this was?

Sounds like 384 is leaving some cars behind in order to be short enough to pass 385 who cleared their ec1 maybe 10 minutes ago.

That'd be really photogenic watching the Virginian unit going across the bridge in New Richmond with the pretty fall colors.
