Q32723 by Howell at 09:05. PRLX 212 in ATSF warbonnet paint leading, KCS 4795 trailing. 57 cars. Meanwhile, the powers to be screwed up Q328 this morning by splitting up yesterdays Q327 power, sending one on to Chicago with yesterdays two Q326 power units, even with only 77 cars, and sent 328 out this morning underpowered. Train was held at Williamston for 327 to bring them an extra unit from Detroit, but guess what, they couldn't find one. Therefore Q32823 will continue to sit at Williamston for the foreseeable future. Guess they didn't want to split apart that nice set of power on 327, even though they had no problem doing so yesterday.

You are correct. Nice pair of power on Q327. Why split it up? Saw the pair last Friday morning myself in Fostoria on L234. You'd think CSX would take a few extra motors out of storage so they were not so power short. Of course, we won't talk about the hundreds of locomotives they have retired and sold during the past two years. :?
