Just over at Ann St. to catch the GRE and the yard is at capacity with mostly covered hoppers. 2104 is still putting its train together for today.

King Milling was moving hoppers around today. Unloaded at least 10. Another ~15 hoppers are parked south of town along the main. Still another line of ~10 still parked in town to be unloaded.

WMI interchanged around 25 cars to CSX in Hartford last night, most of which were storage cars which are being put into service again.
