MOW was in TC yesterday, and there is a loaded center beam and an empty gon in Cadillac- expecting a TC run today. Hopefully!

They did not pick up any gons at Beacon. They dropped off one and spotted another that was already there. They left with 396 leading and 383 trailing, no cars.

They used to come here on a loose schedule Fridays or maybe a Thursday. But as of late they seem to come Friday or Saturday in the night. Best hint comes from the guys in Cadillac where they report the TC cars sitting there to come up here soon.
