U713 westbound by MP 205 at 16:40 with 336 axles.
E251 westbound by MP 225 at 16:47, and westbound by MP 205 at 17:33 with 528 axles.
The detector at MP 205 reported 27mph but I suspect they slowed down to less than 15mph, so I have to agree with Manistique on this one.

507 just flew by MP 22.5 on the Holly with two 5600/5700's leading, a lot of loaded centerbeams up front, a lot of empty well cars in the middle and then double stacks on the rear, at about 50 mph.

Was 2131 under power?
3008 and 3215 were on M384 back on Tuesday, guess they wanted a second helping of the attention they got

P365 prior had been informed of a flashing bungalow light at Seminary Street but conductor couldn't hear that being said, and upon a clearer area was already then given a disregard to the light

What I presume was 116 (from the time of day) went past MP 22.5 at 2:35 pm. It was passed by Amtrak 350 out back, running about a half hour late.

Last night on the South Holly:
Around 9:30 a NB what I presume was 513 went by with a GP38 as power (from the sound of it).
Trains 507 and 508 passed each other out back around 10:45 pm, a bit late for both of them.
At 3 am a 280 went by, an unusual night train on the Holly lately.
