There's a train, looks like the cstn nb, stopped under us10 near m115. It has both loaded and empty beams on it. I don't see the power and no radio chatter at all today. Did they go dead maybe and tie it down at harding Ave? 1250

Into Cadillac approximately 1445 with 35 or so cars. Couldn't catch the power with the sun behind them.
