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.

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(?)
