GRE crew on duty. NS picked up but no delivery. Looks like the crew picked up a half dozen empties from King on the way back yesterday. Doesn't look like CSX delivered over night either.

CSX main is occupied from west end Williamston to east end Trowbridge until 0930. Two maintainers (or inspectors) in a CSX track car, heading eastbound from MP81 (Okemos Road). Not sure what they're out there for.

Anyone know if the break at Brighton has been repaired yet?

According to Dane, MMRR 24 headed north out of Lowell around 11:45 this morning. Anyone up that way keep your eyes open.

Seems like Every Firday or Thursday a track car runs, the sections are from Puritan St in Williamston to Beck Road, I don't know where the other one ends. I would imagine they were fixing it yesterday when X500 got stopped. Also might be a slow order or a stop at CH 34.5 they are running large water lines, and are boring under the line ither today or tomorrow, some how they are still digging in the frozen ground.

Q327 has CSX 8448 (or 8445, I can't remember, either way it's an SD40-2) and just got all 5 blocks from the RN to proceed west.

With just enough time to focus the camera! One more red light and I would have missed them at this location. I thought for sure I'd get there sooner, but they must have been really moving through EL.
