Late report:
At 0935 this morning, Z627 was already working Holland Waverly Yard. Looked like they came down with just the 2057 and 13 cars (7 CH and 6 tanks) and at the same time the CSX Yard Job had just picked up some loaded scrap gons and was waiting at Waverly on the main for the Z train to clear. Couldn't see the CSX power.
