My observations for today.

1 empty beam to be picked up at letherer truss. The marion siding is almost full of black hazmat tanks which were parked in 2 cuts that I noticed last week. Biewer has 3 loaded beams, nothing at hydrolake and I cant see viking. I did hear the crew talking here the other day saying viking is supposed to be building a loop track so they're able to push loads into one side and pull empties from the other. The bean plant in ithaca had very few cars last night. Just some meal hoppers out by Washington rd. This morning there's a string of them out in the yard tracks closer to the 127 bridge. It may be the same cars that have been loaded or something. I'm not sure what their process as to where they park loads and empties or spot pickups and deliveries.
