Just caught CSX 109 and CSX 3362 leading a long string of loaded auto racks eastbound over the bridge at the high falls in Rochester, New York.

Edit to add:

About 9:30 saw what must have been a shortline manifest going to a yard to interchange. Had five standard cab units with no distinguishable class 1 paint in the lash-up. Long train too.

About 12:30 saw an oil train headed east with an NS leader, two CSX units, and a BNSF unit. ALL black tanks with a single white tank on the rear and a CH for a buffer behind the power.

Empty autoracks headed west at 14:30. Missed the leaders.

Also stopped by the local doublewide trailer style Amshak and chatted with the agent who was doubling as the custodian. Was inside sweeping the floor when I walked in.

D801 (N800 recrew) is currently departing Riverside. BNSF 6180 leading.
Sounds like D802 is departing West Olive for Wells, and D801 will meet them at Wells, then D802 will help D801 up the hill.

Amtrak P370-12 with AMTK 127 leading east is at 131.3 DD at 20:30 ET. 20 axles, 382 feet. Should be a P42 on each end...

What was leading P371-12 this morning?

When I left work today at 4 pm, was listening to the traffic report on WWJ 950 and they reported a CSX train blocking Levan Rd. and Stark Rd. in Livonia. It still is, 5 1/2 hours later, per radio and ATCS.
21:55 UPDATE: From the scanner, it is Q399-12. Whatever they are working on, sounds like it is going to take at least another 1/2 hour.

Q399 went on the ground between Eckles and Stark. Delayed Q392, D708 and a host of other trains. Not sure on the cause.
