Thanks much. Tried to get a decent photo of them, but one giant cloud popped up and had other plans
WAMX 4189, WAMX 4225, WAMX 4124, and WAMX 4125 with probably 40 cars. Based on that power, can only guess 4189 and 4225 went north yesterday and just parked it near GR. 2nd train went north today, switched, and took the whole consist back south.

Your welcome. Your posts helps me estimate their trip back south on most days. WAMX 4189 and WAMX 4225 are two engines I haven’t seen before. When I was at Hugart Yard, seen 5 engines scatters about with the WAMX 4190 (red version) facing north doing Z739 tasks.

Righto, south by the house at 10:45pm. WAMX 4124 and 4125 trailing indeed. Too dark to see how many cars but still rumbling by 90 secs later.

2 NB runs to Osmer by AARR today:
1. This morning, with three engines, bringing a unit train
2. NB across Warner Road at 16:20 with another unit train.
One is a loaded potash train, presumably for HESR and the other is an empty grain train off of CSX.
