Caught him at the depot. Train make-up had the smell of a 382 - but was a 384. Kind of casually cruising through town tonight.

Just as an interesting tid-bit - on this date in 1998, 17 trains ran on the MTC sub. Nobody could get a word in edge wise on the radio with all of the track warrants being dispatched.

Next day it was back to the normal 12 trains...

M38261 16 at Beck CN 3039 CN 3006 37 cars.

Through Cass Ave. at 10:44. M382 has generally been a massive train this year so it's surprising to see that the last couple have been on the short side.
