When we arrive at the east yard, first we have to move the locomotives, that they use to air test, and keep the air on the tracks we have to pick up. So we set out moving the 27??, and 440?, and moving them to a clear track, and also leaving the 6279. We pick up 10 loads, 24 empties, for 1916 tons, and 2275 feet.

As we were calling the AX to come back to the east yard, from the north yard, I heard him talking to some one south that they hit a car, and it wasn't his area, but he would tell BX.

We depart at 8:50, and by listening to the radio, can tell we are not going verry far.
We stop at South Stoney Creek Rd., and wait at 9:06. As we are pulling up to a stop, I hear that everyone is starting to move, (it was Q321 that got the car, at Otter Creek Rd.). You have Q321, a G194, Q334, and a E441, then us. As Q321, passes Q272 at Erie, we hear that Q321 is in emergency again. Seems that something off of Q272's train has hit Q321 and put them into emergency (I find out later, that something off of Q272, hit the air reservoir of on of the locos on Q321, and ripped a air line off, although the crew, did not notice this for quite some time, as they were a key train, and had to walk the train, also thinking that it was something else, and after walking the train only started to discover the problem, then a shop truck had to be called out to patch it).
So at 9:56, the Q27209, comes past with the BNSF 7705 & 5405, with 10 platforms, 9 containers, 25 auto racks, and 64 mixed.

The dispatcher gets Q321 south of Erie, and crosses G194, over to 2 track, then tries to get Q33411, behind Q321 on 1 track, as they are about to die. Then he runs the E441, and us around them at Erie.
At 11:45, we pass the Q33411, at 127, with CSXT 8044 & HLCX 7180, with 84 cars.
