btw, new PM schedule begins tomorrow. Times didn’t look too much different, just a few minutes quicker arriving at stations due to “CSX increasing speeds.”

Q385, reported as by Seymour at 01:38 this morning and by Howell at 22:37 had 217 cars, and a tad less than 13,000 feet of train. 886 axels including the three six axel units. I actually counted 227 cars when it went by, but was counting in the dark and over counted by ten.

CITX 3089 is one of two new lease units that GLC is getting. 3143 is the other, but in the CEFX blue paint scheme similar to GLC blue & white 3089 is the former GCFX 3089
