D700-30 @ 19:35 eastward reported by the DD mp CG19.1 with 70 axles (+2 error?) & 1,039 feet long. CSX engines #6546 + #2677 & 15(?) cars (train runaround in Holland). This DD site has a history for axle count errors (+1, +2, +3 at times), I can only speculate as to what the count should have been.

Well I guess I should just give up...when a train comes by at 19:35, it's supposed to be an on-time Amtrak not a coal train just to have Amtrak come through exactly an hour later.

The train gods must be crazy!

Y106 east by CH 146 with a GP40-3 and a whopping 18 cars. Lots of scrap from Beacon, a plastic for Cascade or Corvac and 5 boxes for Advance.
Y106 was moving cars between Alto and Elmdale around 12:30. When I returned around 4:30, they had left 1 carload of pipe. No tanks that I could see.
