Last I heard a Z627 was clear of the north end wye, and they have been waiting for some time to enter Waverly. My guess is no. I was stuck on 196 when that train passed me.

You are going to be waiting for a while. 326 is stuck on the hill and has to wait for a D job that doesn’t go on duty until noon. Then it’ll probably be another hour by the time those helpers get down there.

I was getting ready to get my teeth cleaned at the time, however I caught them in Grandville.

Signal is already lined here for 327.
