N800-28 @ 05:50:40am eastward Bangor mp CG60.7 with BNSF engines #8589 + #6275 & 130 loaded coal cars. He's going into Wells siding mp CG43.3 & was told not to cut his train, a D job is supposed to be on duty at 06:00. However, last night D801-28 @ 8:44pm advised Dispatch time is not permitting them to bring N800-27 any further & they were tying down at N. Shore Drive mp CG86.2 & this train, with the CSX pusher engines, didn't return over night. N800-28 advised Dispatch they had passed by Benton & saw the loaded coal there with pushers & Dispatch said he was aware & they're going to taxi the D crew to there to grab the pusher engines & bring them to Wells to move N800-28.

Wow, looking at Q326 on the Bangor camera, lots of those former CP covered hoppers and junk ties are back again. Also, 11 coil cars of the type Arlington Metals receives! Typically, they seem to take a maximum of 5-6 coil cars on each run D700 takes to them, so I wonder if they will split these up or bring them all? Guess we will see in a day or two!

CSX has the King Milling wheat again.
Steel could go to other spots...but prolly Arlington.
Tie cars come from all over the CSX system.
