I think I see a handful of tank cars, a covered hopper or two and maybe a gondola.

Checked the GRE yard at lunch. Still another 10 or 12 BNSF loads for the next run east. Plus what looks likes several empties on the interchange track and at the end of the interchange track, a couple more hoppers and a loaded center beam.

WAMX #4009(?) was sitting by itself all the way in the back by the engine shed and the snow plow and the 26 cars GDLK 303 brought up.

CSX local (297?) had more hoppers for King around 6:00p. It was cold, dark and didn’t want to hang around with a rental car.
