D702-22 @ 10:49 eastward reported by DD mp CG19.1 with 176 axles & 2,442 ft. CSX engines #6244 + #2800 & 42 cars.
They were also in Zeeland earlier this morning, picking up 2 from Vanden Bosch setoff last week and setting off a lumber load at Zeeland Lumber.
Darn! I photographed those two cars sitting at VB on Saturday and wondered when they'd be going back out. I hadn't seen anything spotted there in a long time.

Is someone lined up to go through Woodbury?

Probably not. Woodbury is ABS. The signals don't give "line up" authority. They Just tell if the block is clear (occupied by a train) or not. At Woodbury the signals are always lit and usually green (no train). If you see one side red or yellow then you have a train in the area or lined up to (against) the head block in Lake O. Can't really tell if is coming or going though generally with out a little more info or watching long term.
interested in trains

Clear Elmdale (mp131). Didn't hear CH126.3 go off aside from not hearing CH104.3 again.

As of 12:51pm - Minutes ago, sounded like D706 may be on the move(?)
