New power for D70530 today, and "hot" ones beside. By Howell at 3:45pm with CSX 5468 leading, extremely rare C40-8W 7801 second, and GP40-2 6341 trailing which I have not seen in 24 years. Assigned to the Baltimore-Philadelphia area for years, this is the former B&O Chessie 4447, the very last unit to be renumbered CSX. 705 had 53 cars.

Wondering if the #6341 will be the replacement for the CSXT #2742 that was seen going west on Q327-30 today? The CSXT #2742 had been paired up with the CSXT #6244 as the power for D700 & D702.

He was supposed to go into Gross Siding mp CG61.3 to clear up for Amtrak, but, Amtrak is running 1 1/2 hours late. They may just let D700 go into Hartford mp CG68.7 where his work is to begin.

At 9:45pm, Dispatch gave the ok for D700 to go Hartford.
