And just a few minutes later, at 8:43 pm, we have a second meet of a NB and SB train out back at MP 22.5. Too dark to tell what trains they are by their consists but my guess is the NB is 507 and the SB is the mystery one mentioned a few posts up as following 280.

To complete the South Holly train report from last night, there was a six train, a SB, that followed the second SB down the Hill about fifteen minutes later. So we had six trains go by last night, a whole day of trains in less than an hour, with two rolling meets out back. Not sure if that is Precision Railroading or the opposite but I will take it.
