Taking a wild guess and saying L305 is working there as of 16:45

[MQT1223]

Y297 is heading up the west leg of the Sunnyside Wye with a brand new gondola up front and a huge cut for GRE. Two tanks on the rear for Haviland.

[BL2-1843]

L30528 went power light east from Howell to go to Peaker to pick up the Louisville & Indiana unit, which they did. On the way back west, they picked up last night's GLC set off from the transfer. Meanwhile, yesterday's 53 car set off for GLC still sits in the siding at Brighton, and yesterday's GLC 70 car set off for CSX still sits in the siding at Howell. This in turn has caused L303 to be sitting at Fowlerville for the last 90 minutes waiting for L305 to get by. Currently, L305, is at Ogihara picking up cars they left there going east, but is just departed west at 18:11
