Working Plymouth East Yard. Looks like the yard job (as opposed to the road job). There is a green Cabosil covered hopper in the consist.

Can confirm what you told the mods on the cam. Just cleared Bangor with a 3200 series Gevo and a Dash 8 for power. Counted 125 cars roughly.
How can you count anything when the camera is panning every 10 seconds? One of the views in the opposite direction from the tracks.

And now it's not panning. Cool, maybe I'll watch 370 go by. :-)

Wondering how the bad lake effect in Erie and Buffalo will effect Q384 & Q385.
Not just the trains but trying to get a crew change in feet of snow. Welcome to

Q326-27 with BNSF 4694 leading east has a clear at Vine at 09:35. 388 axles, 6048 feet at 91.9 DD.

Sounds like they have 2 wide loads, and they might be able to get up Saugatuck on there own. Only 9,000ish tons today.

Lots of stacks, lots of tanks, some lumber cars, a few boxes, some sand CHs...but didn’t see any wide loads on the Bang-cam. Haha
