Hearing a train moving again near Woodbury. Not sure if it is another one or if the local is just done working and now continuing. Scanner is off.

Caught d707 running with the bnsf 7833 long good forward. Going slow. Probably on account of the wide cab running long hood first. Looked pretty tough to see forward out of that thing to me. Had about 15 cars. Through Woodbury west bound at 14:12.

A D907 is now heading east from GR right now. They have to pick up 82 cars from Fox and will be putting them in the siding at Sinfield.

What's the source for it leading? Last I understood it should be trailing, as is typical with UP power on that train. Unless due to it's the 2 locos being back-to-back?
