Thanks LRF as always regarding your detailed reports.

Question - why would 450 drop those WC SW1500s in Holly? Why wouldn't they drop them in Pontiac for example? The only place to put them in Holly is the passing siding, which would prohibit meets in Holly until they are gone. On the other hand, meets in Holly don't happen all that often with average daily Holly Sub train counts of only about 5-6 per day.
