After doing some scouting today the new hbd is at 194.39 on the flint sub. Once it's put into service my scanner feed should be able to pick it up. It is 8 miles closer to me than Bellevue.

This was E251, over Farm Ln. before then, couldn't have asked for better timing as I drove under. They had four engines.

Stop every train at that specific milepost when they are at it or stop every train where they are at?

At that milepost because 394 continued. 364 way by me at 205 as usual. I haven't heard anything further but I'm listening to the scanner.
