JAIL: 2nd day in a row for no daytime run. They went south last night to NS so maybe a NB run to CSX and CN tonight?

INER: NS 1070 (Wabash HU) is trailing on an empty grain train WB out of Montpellier, OH for The Andersons in Reading, MI. NS 1070 will lead on the outbound loaded grain train.

LSRC: NB C803 (CSX symbol) loaded coal train by Williard Rd w BNSF 6170/BNSF 9796 (exec mac) f/r. Unknown if the BNSF 9796 can lead out.

I sit on my deck with a beer and hear them blowing off in the distance. It must be nice to be able to sit on your deck and actually see them passing by.
