Good morning, Donnie. I hope you had a nice Christmas. Can you let us know if 327 is working Waverly this morning? I’m not able to listen to the scanner at the moment. Thanks!

hi jt
327 had 2 6axles and a 4 axle in tow today and 149 cars, would have tied up east side of holland with 8700' of train on returns day.
the run down of 371 and 327 ended up being the last post on page 33, so it was easy to miss.
hope you had a great christmas and will have a good new year
stay safe out there.

CSX 3211 on the head end, DPU 738 on the rear end with 125 cars including 20 Ash cars on the head end. Those ash cars shouldn't be going east of Ann Pere unless they are on D708.

Something's coming thru Brighton atm - no visual/radio but can hear the horn.
My guess would be the loaded return of V713-21 from Wednesday.
Presumably Eastbound at 13:53

I never heard him come thru but the tracks have been cleared off and there is a hirail salting the switch.

Salt wouldn't be used on the tracks - not good for the rails or tie plates & any melting snow having salt in it would affect the signal circuits.

Ok, thanks. He was dropping something on the rails. I’m not sure what it was
