L303-06 @ 12:14 heading east crossing Godfrey Ave mp CG0.99 with CSX #3045 + CSX #3271 (elephant style) with 77 cars (got a visual confirmation). He will meet Y106 at Fox mp 141.8.

In the consist were several empty AEX gondolas, the usual mix of cars, 2 empty crushed stone hoppers and 1 loaded PDNX #625613 gondola with black gravel(?)
PDNX 625613 is a Louis Padnos Iron and Metal car. You have perhaps witnessed the first time (that I know of anyway) of a Padnos owned car in service. NEATO!.

I’ve seen a lot of PDNX high top and low top gondolas on M326, M327 and L303. Occasionally, I see a few of them being used at Padnos. I also seen ZBVX, DJJX, and MMRX gondolas
