Pretty good chance for a train tonight in TC. Transformer unloaded off the HD flat at the Wolverine spur along Keystone Road plus, two empties pushed off the Amerhart siding onto the main in Williamsburg. No idea regarding the scrap dealer as I didn't pass it today

They returned around 1245 and spent the afternoon working Cadillac.
