I just watched M326 on the rewind at Bangor. There’s a brand new CSXT coil car in the consist, 499315. Enchantment blue with white lettering and the csx.com logo. Here’s a link to another car in the class: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... id=5809998

You can see it passing through Bangor at 21:08:49 Sunday. Destination either L301/Arlington Metals or L303 to Ensel for a JAIL interchange to RSDC.

Thanks for the detailed train tracking, Tom. We missed you while you were gone!
