LIRC 3001 is still in Ensel. It’s visible from Turner Street.
Andrew needs tp hiball to Turner Street to photograph it some more. If its on D708 today, he can chase it back east all the way to Peaker.

Usually, “X” is for out of slot or extra trains. But for several days, for unknown reasons, Q327’s symbol has been a day ahead of the actual date. i.e., yesterday was the 21st but the train was Q327-22. So to get back on track with the dates, I suspect they made today’s train X327-22.

Hello Todd, Q327 on June 19th had gotten a really late start out of Grand Rapids & didn't go by Bangor until 7:06pm. CSX assigned him as being Q327-20 instead of Q327-19. It would have made more sense if they assigned him as being X327-19. Ever since then, the Q327 trains had been assigned a day number being 1 day later than the actual date they ran. Today's X327-22 will straighten all of that out now & get the Q327 trains back to their normal day # assignment.

D706 east by Trowbridge. For some reason D706 stoped with the rear clear of the CN diamond but still on the Trowbridge passing siding switch. Then after a East and Westbound CN trains D708 went East with the LIRC 2001 and only covered hoppers.
