Unknown Westbound from Rougmere went to Plymouth’s North Yard with a pair of CSX GP40-3s LHF and about 30 mixed freight cars. I couldn’t get loco numbers as I was caught with SW on the opposite side of the diamond waiting for D714 to head south at the same time. Wonder what plans are changing now.....

Late D700-04 report:
D700-04 @ 01:34:52am eastward Bangor mp CG60.7 with CSX slug set #2387 + #6987 lite.
He had gone thru Bangor westward earlier also lite to make a pick up at Sawyer. E800-02 was stopped at the St Joseph Bridge Tender's office for his needed paperwork which was taking a while. Then D700 asked Disptach if they could get the empty coal to back up so that they could get over the St Joseph Bridge by going around E800-02. That plan fell thru too, so D700 said they won't have time to do all that needs to be done at Sawyer & went back home to Holland lite.

What a joke. I have no idea how CSX makes any money serving Arlington, given that everything has to go to GR.
