Train is A492 and the cars on the bottom are 8 and 12 axle cars. Train is reporting improper axle counts due to how close together the axles are on those cars. The dd can't pick them up fast enough

It’s being taken to AMP in New York state for work. It was side swiped by some loose boxcars in Green Bay last month.

8952 took quite a bit of damage according to photos I've seen, nothing that isn't repairable though
