Good thing we've got the Pullman cam too because you sure cant count cars at Bangor on your own anymore the way the camera is rotated back and forth from one to the other so many times as the train passes. Also, because I search for cars heading to our local industries and interchange, noting the cars reporting marks and numbers makes it harder to see as well. That said, the new camera asure provides for a greater view of the trains. Be nice if we had the capability of switching cameras on our own like some have the capability of even though the zoom and movement can only be done by the moderator. The Pullman cam, being further away if not zoomed in, plus the extra speed of the trains there over Bangor doesn't make it easy as well, but, you can count the cars yourself, and to determine how many auto racks etc. are on each train.

From your post, you prefer seeing the entire train passing Bangor's Monroe Street crossing to view each passing car. I'll note that & pass this on to the other Mods.

Looked like LSRC units from a distance, but they were CSXT units indeed. 66 cars trailing.

J02102 came back lite power to Grand Rapids at 5:30pm, 12 axles. CSXT 9004 leading, CSXT 985 trailing. Around 4pm, D801 was west at Saugatuck with BNSF power. Q327 should take CSXT 985 as solo power tonight. J021 positioning the power and Herbie doesn't want the engine idling next to the tower :)

Lately they have been. Not sure the reason for the routing. I think the last one I saw had a half dozen or so.
