Hopefully it'll go back on Sunday at a reasonable time; the weather looks like it'll be decent.

I heard from a friend that some DME/ICE power arrived in Buffalo just after 11AM today (Mon 5/10) on K69506...

Also of note, CITX 3093 is a former GN SDP40 still in its original carbody. This was GN 323-BN 9853-BN 1976 (Bi-centennial)-BN 6397-BNSF 6325-GCFX 3093.

K695 has CITX 3093, DME 6056, DME 6059, DME 6081 and ICE 6433. I was told yesterday that the crew was to go on duty out of Selkirk sometime Sunday evening. As long as it traverses Ohio today, it'll be in good light.

I have some Cleveland friends keeping an ear out for it - I'll see if I can update before I leave work at 5 although it's not looking good for Western Ohio in daylight. I don't think it'll crew change until Willard but from where it was earlier it'd be doing good to get to Collinwood around 4:30 and then another 2+ hours down to Willard. In short, it'll be lucky to be out of Willard westbound before 8PM (making good time + a quick crew change would still be after 7PM)

File this in the 'woulda' been nice' category for me. It looks like it's being 'held out' from Collinwood (even though it's got a Buffalo/Willard crew) as it's still sitting in Painesville as of a few min ago. I'd toyed with the idea of driving the hour & 20 min or so it'd take me to get to the New London/Willard area depending on progress but that's looking hopeless. (and 2+ hours each way for a lower probability shot of getting it in good light in Cleveland isn't worth it)
