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.

Re: Shortlines Train Location Heads Up - November 2023

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.

Sounds like GRE just arrived in Lowell. Got no wheels today to verify.
Can confirm they did. No eyes on power though.
I think they left shortly thereafter.

Probably GRE #2104(?), unless they have a switcher?

GRE is back in the Ann St. yard with ~ a dozen hoppers.
Looks like most of the hoppers were moved for another EB on Friday possibly.
