396 and 399 going Northbound to TC, left Kingsley at 12:38. Looked like Beacon and Amerhart, did not count how many for each.

Any idea are we talking one or two cars or several? I know you didn't count, but any idea?

One for Amerhart, several for Beacon. I only saw it from my office, which doesn’t have the clearest view of the tracks.

The Beacon car would be a load, not an empty. :D

22:31 - 329 found sitting in the transfer at Ann Pere, I am told this is headed to Peaker, currently not running.
22:56 - OSTN northbound thru National St. Howell with 382 and 383. Pulled a cut north from Ann Pere thru the siding at Catrell St. and tacked it onto the north end of a cut on the main.
