I arrived at Trowbridge around 8:15. Checked the signals nothing, so I decided to head to the CN yard to see what was going on there. Nothing, that is wierd, no locomotives and one string of coal cars. So I head back to the Depot. Around 9:00, a CN track inspector called TD3 to get time to weld a rail at Ceder st. TD told him "it was going to be tough to get him some time because it was going to get busy." I hope so. He said he had 4 Eastbound and 4Westbounds, and 1 off the Holly sub. So heres th line up.

Good stuff, need to see more from here, especially Eastbounds, so I know what's coming my way.
The 2 BN greens are on the way back today.
