Jason / Others:

I am working from home today and will post what goes by if I can.

Northbound, what I assume to be 591, with the 2240 in the lead, with 2 other CN units (8800 series I think), 48 cars, by Linden at 9:50am. This is the first daylight train today on the Holly Sub thru Linden.

These locomotives, which I presume were 514's power, picked up a fairly long train, must of been at Pontiac, of mostly autoracks and went SB past mp 22.5 at 5:15 pm. If it is 514 it is the first time I have seen it with mixed freight and not just containers or light locomotives.

Guys heads up for a WLE train heading for Toledo that came off the Bessemer late last night in Pa. A railfan reported seeing it with 66 empty CN hoppers and CN power in the lead and it was sitting on the Lakeshore in Bellevue at 11:29 PM. It will most likely recrew and do a reverse move in town and head up the Toledo district later on,

PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

They seem to be coming from and going to the Conrail interchange at East Yard/North Yard.
