Moving the train completely out of the way, eh? This means the set with the Supers will be trailing tomorrow? That's gonna look funky.

P37007 going down the main in the Wyoming... Holding out at Godfrey. Sounds like P37006 will go to Market Street Wye to get out of P37007's way. Once P37007 is in the station, P37006 will couple onto the rear of their train for the P37108 run to Chicago tomorrow.

P370-06 (sounds like ID is P932) Departing GR at 23:17 ET with a Slow Clear.
P370-07 Approach Plaster Creek at 23:19.
P370-07 all stop CP Godfrey 23:26 ET.
P370-06 all stop Market Street 23:26 ET.

522 axles, 7372 feet at 91.9 DD AT 01:16 ET. Looks like the leader is different now compared to when JT saw it. Probably something to do with why it took so long to get here.
