Nice to see 8952 back in service. Looks like it's been spruced up a bit too.

What I presume is 280 with a single BNSF locomotive is rolling past MP 22.5 on the Holly at 7:19 getting a good head of steam as it heads down the Hill.

NB 515 went past MP 22.5 at around 4 pm.

Right now, at 4:36 pm with CN stubnosed 2515 trailing a BNSF unit (power from yesterday's 116) as power, 251 is rolling by.

A NB is passing MP 22.5 on the Holly at 7:33 am powered by a single BNSF unit, probably the one that powered 280 yesterday. Pretty much all mixed freight so let's call it an Extra 491.

Solo BNSF with all auto went by 205 cam east at 07:40. Assumed E270 as it is working Cory. Heard E260 elsewhere with possible work for Cory as well. It took M1 at mp208 while it'd of had plenty of time to make it to cpOkemos before a WB freight showed up, thus my assumption.
