Last night there was a 513 or 515 that ran late. It had 5430 and ran light south then came back with a short train of loaded centerbeams. The NB 515 passed MP 22.5 just after 508 did, around 8 pm.

09:52 - CN 2221 leads an EB rack train with a small cut of intermodal by MP 225 on M2. The EB signal's top light (clear) isn't working, the signal system became aware of this, dropping from what would've been clear back to advance approach after about 15 seconds. On M1 sat a westbound, certainly blocking Harrison Rd and the pedway the next crossing over.

E251 held up the P350, I tried to catch it to photo the Geep but was too late getting there, so at 14:05 it would have been the autorack train you heard.
