Hmm... wonder if BNSF 9950 and 9164 did the waverly pickup, ran to GR and back, and now going back north lite to get a coal empty?
thanks for the y121 spoting, maybe i'll eat my TB near Windquist today around 1:30

No problem, Zack.

It's as simple as getting home, popping the SD card into the laptop, doing some quick editing and uploading. :wink:

That would be awesome. I heard that they aren't taking rail cars anymore though. But then again I hear a lot of conflicting reports from c&m. Anyone know for sure?

There is currently a convoy of CSX track vehicles working on the Toledo Wye. This might hold-up Q272 if it hasn't gone through already.
