GDLK is currently working the transload at Fuller Jct on the former MIGN interchange. Can’t say I’ve ever seen this happen in the daylight before. Should be a GP35 leading a GP38 for the soundbound move

GRE is parked south of Lowell with a line of hoppers attached and their light is off, facing west. Another 20 or so hoppers on the other track. MOW is working that area also. Not sure where the MQT engine is.

The ballast cars are east somewhere. There is new ballast down west of Alpine and east toward Plainfield and Leonard. Not sure how much farther east.
