Edit: TracK Geometry Train W00128, with CSX 6025 by Howell at 09:50 and now approaching Williamston at 10:10. First time I have see this one sine they added the third car to it.

W001 was at North Yard in Plymouth last night. They worked from Plymouth toward Rougemere yesterday.

Dam, just missed Bob’s earlier report. Would have taken a break at work to see them up close. W001 by MA at 10:45. I would love to know the backstory on that silversides baggage car.
