Another middle-of-the-night train that sounded like it was coming to bust down the door lol.

What's nice though, is with the DPU on the rear, it's now easy to tell eastbound coal trains from the rest, since they're shoving hard out of town as they clear the 25-mph speed restriction. Westbounds are typically at or near idle, and eastbound freights with or without DPU aren't making much noise on the headend with the rest of the train still in the 25.

And it is a very dumb 25 that should go away, but supposedly long ago the railroad and the city agreed on 25 as the limit. Ugh.

Per Bangor chat, Q32626 is stuck somewhere in Indiana on NS, passed Curtis IN at 6:45am and hasn't made CSX at Porter yet.
No coal empties on duty, lots of N800's planned out of chicago, but not on duty.
D70026 at Lamar in Grand Rapids. D70526 hasn't fled out of Detroit and d70626 got annulled.

D706 took a 30 minute delay at Howell last night waiting for GLC to clear off of CSX. Good to hear the next D706 has been annulled again.
