Their transit time was good, but the crew might still have to tie down before they could get on the cab. Didn't hear D-1 tell them it was a tie-down, but also didn't hear him say it was a live recrew. Either way, there'd be time eaten up before they got driven to wherever.

0215-0420/06-28-2023 got going at 0226 with P&W Road garble, "3 engines" being the only clarity. 427 might seem to be the logical conclusion, but 1 later, D-1 answered, asked for a repeat, and then OKd M426 (six) with CSXT 483 onto the property, advising that there was no recrew, so they would tie down. To save suspense, naught to, from, or about 427 would exit the speaker during the trip. Naught -- also -- to, from, or about anybody else "company" would exit the speaker for a bit more than a bit.
At 0248, the 333 WLs were dark, and 3 later, Boston East hashed on the way to the also-dark 334s and 335s.
At 0301, there was Dispatcher-side hash, clearing to "District Number 1 out," and up Da Hill, the 345 ELs were at Stop and the 2 WL at Medium Clear. There were trashes on the 2 at the Timpany Boulevard UGB and more trashes, along with mixed general on the Extension and 1. Through the gaps, 4 had even more trashes and a clear-tented centerbeam by the E FP. Now was when 16R with NS 6952 got on the air to D-3. They had left 16x4 for the P&W and were now 66x3 for 7602', suggesting a good number of racks. D-3 said they'd probably tie down at Wachusett, but he'd check with the Chief. Never heard either a confirmation or a change of plans, but the night is dark and full of ZombieZones, and there even was a refueling stop. I waited a bit, but there was no EB activity, not even an eyeballing of the power. Mebbe they were dark behind a Pratt building. What did get seen was a "For Sale" sign in the front window of the Jade. No Subway, no rotary Dunks, and soon no Jade?
At 0327, the 333 WLs were dark, at least for a bit. The EB staggers for 330 were at Approach, but all else dark, up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0347, 2 covered hoppers still on the RVJ stub. Dark and W-facing NewBlue 5958 and dark and E-Facing KCIR 5933 had been sitting in a different-from-06-26 FI-1/2 parking spot at 0341, the W end of East Side MT, something that the 16R recrew might remedy.
Post-refueling-stop, there was 0354 Road-side hash, and at 0401, D-2 reached out to NA-2 to get the engineer's ID. Naught else for the next 19.

0214-0420/06-30-2023 started with with D-2 giving a time-effective 0218 Form D G201 to the 515 at Bow for MP NSU9 S to NSU35.
0224 was when D-3 answered FI-2 x2 and then gave the 5958 permission to reverse direction from where they stood and proceed W to CPF WL on 2.
0229 was when M427 called out to D-1, no immediate response getting to me as I got further from M427. At 0233, D-1 answered M427 with CSXT 473, fulfilling their Form D G127, mebbe meaning they'd been long enough to have stopped at Burncoat instead of New Bond. Naught else D-1 would come outta the speaker.
At 0244, there was brief Road-side hash. 5 later, there was a Medium Clear on the 333 2 WL, and both the 1 and 2 had sitting occupants. 1 had NSs 6952, 7610, and 4455, followed by DS containers. A bit W, 2 had NSs 6959, 4387, and 1004 plus KCIR 7594, any trailing cars not visible cuzza the curve. The view at the station would show that 2 was MT, at least by the platform, and the W part of the platform was where the containers stopped and racks began, the racks continuing past the all-red 334s. The 335 ELs were at Stop, as was the Single WL, the Controlled Siding WL at Restricting. no marker visible to the E.
At 0309, D-3 reached out to 16R and discussion of moves began, D-3 offering options, 16R suggesting going 1 to 2 for power on top of power and train on top of train, so mebbe there were a few cars on 2. There was also D-3 discussion of the commuter, and D-3 said he'd put the light in on the 1. In any event, Gardner did not get gawked this date by me since Wachusett was the busy spot. There was also some D-2 garble at 0317.
The 333 WLs had gone to all Stops, and post-burn-down and rerouting, the 1 WL went to clear at 0322. Headlights went on and off and engine idle got boosted, but no movement was happening, so I got EB at 0335. Mebbe what was on 2 had been a 06-29 16R.
The EB staggers for 330 were at Approach, all else dark, up to and including the FGs. At 0340, D-3 had called out to ???, no further developments thanks to the Kimball Street ZombieZone. At 0347, the FI-1/2 parking spot and the W end of East Side were MT, and 5 later, there was no view of the EB staggers for Derby cuzza RVJ activity, 2 covered hoppers still on the stub.
Radio silence would continue until 0404 P&W Road hash, further garble 4 later suggesting it was not M427 business. Crickets until 0420.

0211-0415/07-06-2023 started off and stayed quiet until D-2 garble to the 515 about a signal. 7 later, there was Dispatcher-side hash and then a broken 241.
At 0242, the 333 WLs were dark, and 1 after that came Dispatcher-side hash, followed in 2 by D-2 confirming that M427 (seven) with the CSXT 468 was W and clear of CPF NC by telemetry, adding that there would be a Graniteville tie-down, a cab probably already waiting. Then D-2 answered NA-2 with the 515, asking for a repeat, that followed by a 1-to-1 241, other deets garbled. The 334s and 335s had been dark.
There was brief P&W Road garble at 0256, and all the way up Da Hill, the 345s were all at Stop, MT racks however far E of the Pearson Boulevard UGB on the Single and W of the Timpany Boulevard UGB on the 1, a few covered hoppers visible on 4 through the gaps. Trashes were at the Wilkins Road dogleg, and over at Parkers, there were bright not-yet WBs sitting just clear of the 346 ELs. Also sitting there was an unattended car with its headlights on. Given the make, there could be a YouTube posting. My ADHD was in full crank, so I got EB, only to hear the 346.6 come on at 0316. 3 later the racks had cleared the Pearson Boulevard UGB. At 0323, there was Dispatcher-side hash, mebbe the 346.6.
At 0324, D-2 called out to NA-2, a repeat 1 later, and then a now-broken request to call him on the phone.
At 0329, the 333 WLs were dark. The EB staggers for 330 were at Approach, occasional Dispatcher-side hash in the famed ZombieZones. All else was dark, up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at at 0347, 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub. That was also when D-2 advised NA-2 that he was just throwing the switch and would get them the light.
At 0342, the FI-1/2 parking spot and the W end of East Side had been MT and D-1 had answered M427 (the westerly seven) x2 and then went into Hash Mode, that followed in 3 by a breaking P&W Dispatcher St. Albans, suggesting that the westerly 427 had left 1 CSXT territory and was heading for another.
At 0349, there was a broken possible-241 for Meadowcroft Street.
At 0359, M426 (six) called out to D-1 who answered x2. 2 later, M426 again called out to D-1, D-1 answering and asking if they copied. At 0400 and 0401, D-1 again asked 426 if they copied, no further clarity from either party getting to me.
At 0404, there was D-2 garble about the #1 at LO, and at 0415, there was very brief and unrepeated P&W Road hash.
I know I probably could go into a radio rant, but trying to be a better person, I'll instead thank neman2 for the San-Vel hedzup. I won't edit my scanner yet cuz what 1 Bulletin Order taketh away, another might restoreth.

If there are new YouTube videos from Gardner, royalston, still river or anywhere else with active tracks by the owner of certain make of vehicle, I’ve been unable to find them so far

" me as of 1055/07-06-2023, so dunno...
 #1625310  by jaymac
 
0210-0440/07-07-2023 was -- as the time span indicates -- eventful, starting off with Road-side hash at 0213, followed in 3 by P&W Road hash. There would be occasional P&W Road hash and even some CSX Boston Sub hash, but naught clear to, from, or about M426/7, the same applying for D-1 through 3.
At 0219, D-3 would answer 11R x2 and then advise he was ready to copy, rogering what was presumably train info. D-3 next advised that the plan was to bring it to Westminster and tie it down. Then 11R with NS 6942 would get permission to reverse direction from where they stood at CPF Camp and proceed W to 1. D-3 next said they were OK to *garbled*, but mebbe accept signal indication. There were more-- but broken -- D-3/11R convos at 0224 and 0229 involving car counts.
At 0231, there was Road-side hash, followed by FI-2 calling out to D-3 and advising that they wanted to go W. Mount Wachusett was being Mount Wachusett by this time, so D-3 went unheard, but 3 later and with my position changed, D-3 called out to 16 (six) R, advising that they were gonna be set back 4 hours to *garbled*, 16R adding their own garble about Freight Main West. Naught further would be heard to, from, or about 16R. This would be the start of a spell of radio silence, at least for me.
At 0242, the 333 WLs were dark, the same in sequence for the 334s and 335s.
Up Da Hill, the 345s were all at Stop, 2 dark EBs facing the WLs. The 1 had 264 with NS 6958 and WFRXs 8871 and 8870 while the 2 had EDWhatever with KCIR 7820 and however many obscured trailing units plus mixed general that included covered hoppers, utility poles, and boxes among the visibles. Also among the visibles were covered hoppers in the yard, the tracks not certain. I have seen 2 tied-down EBs in Gardner before, but it is uncommon and does explain 11R tying down at 335. 1 other thing seen earlier -- but not posted -- concerns the the Main Street XNG of the Heywood. The cross-bucks are still in place, but the emergency notification info has been taken off.
EB at 0306, radio silence got broken by Dispatcher-side hash. Not knowing how far 11R mighta gotten, I took the Rte. 2A exit to 335 and then heard D-3 tell 11R at 0309 that when they stopped in Fitchburg for water, they should talk to FI-2 -- working the E end of the yard -- and have them contact D-3 who'd been trying to contact them. 4 later, D-3 got back in touch with 11R with something broken about car count.
At 0322, the 333 WLs -- as had been the 335s and 334s -- were dark. 2 later, there a D-3/FI-2 garbled convo. The EB staggers for 330 showed an Approach for 1 and Stop for 2 and the 330s were all at Stop, MT racks sitting on the 2 E and W of the platform.
OCD kicked in, so I went to the Zeda's/Bike Shop lot to see how far W the MT racks went. Not that far, but at 0335, D-3 told 11R not to bother with FI-2 and then asked if they kept going, could they get past 333 before the 0425 commuter. 11R thought they could, which D-3 rogered, adding a reminder about them not having to contact FI-2. This would be the last "company" reception of the trip.
I got myself back to the platform at 0240, the 330 1 EL having gone to Clear, 1 later being when the GL WLs went from dark to Stop. 0358 was when WB brightiewhities appeared, NSs 6942, 404?, and 8081 plus 67 getting W at 0401. There were covered hoppers that included an agribusiness shortie, wrapped centerbeams, tented and probable drywall centerbeams, "company" hoppers, and a long string of MT centerbeams on the tail.
The FG WLs and ELs were at Stop, no racks visible near the gym. At 0409, dark, solo, and E-facing NewBlue 5958 sat in the FI-1/2 parking spot, the W end of East Side MT, and 6 later, the EB staggers for Derby were dark, 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub.
Boston East hash at 0414 plus occasional P&W Road and CSX Boston Sub hash would provide proof of scanner function for the balance of the trip.

The tips of my index fingers are sore.

0208-0410/07-10-2023 started at the start with M427 calling D-1 and advising that they were clear of Burncoat by telemetry, D-1 acknowledging that to the CSXT 486. 4 later, a breaking D-3 gave FI-2 with the 5958 permission to proceed W on 2, other deets lost.
0227 was when D-3 reached out to the 264, saying he was checking to see if they were on board. Given later events, it mighta been either a Fitchburg platform or North Leominster recrew. Never heard yarding instructions, unless it was the 0229 Dispatcher-side hash.
At 0243, the 333 WLs were at Stop, markerless racks on the 1 and W of the all-Stops 334s. Later on, the 2 at the Fitchburg platform would be MT. Dunno if the 07-07 racks there had been moved a bit W or if this was a new group. Over at the 335s, the ELs and WLs were at Stop, naught visible E, but visible W was a CSX TC which got E of the 335 ELs on 2 at 0253. More will follow about the TC.
At 0256, there was Yard-Channel hash, more activity to follow. 2 later was when D-? called out to M427, but which D and which 427 just dunno.
At 0300, there came "FI-3(three), 1.," but too short to see the source. Lotsa Yard-Channel hash followed, so FI-3 was off the Main.
Up Da Hill, the 345s were dark, 2 in the yard had a few covered hoppers and 1 coil car on the E and then DS trashes up to the Pratt yard. 4 had a tank and whatever else from Royal Steam Heater W.
EB just E of the Rte. 2 crest at 0315 came more FI-3 Yard-Channel hash, D-3 answering clearly on Yard-Channel and getting me all optimistic about some radio improvements having happened cuz I had earlier only been able to hear the train-side of D-3 Yard-Channel convos. But if improvements had happened, the word hadn't gotten to FI-3 cuz 2 later, they again called D-3 on Yard Channel. 2 after that, D-3 called out, but to 264 on Channel 1. Mount Wachusett would now be blocking any immediate Channel 1 developments.
At 0321, things were unchanged at the 333 WLs, and 3 later, there was Dispatcher-side hash. The EB staggers for the 330s were at Approach, the 330.8 WBs, 330s, and GL WLs dark. A TC 1320/D-3 convo had started at 0327, the Foreman was E of the FGs, so D-3 fulfilled Form D G302 at 0328.
At 0332, there was Dispatcher-side hash, followed in 1 broken D-3 permission to the 264 to reverse direction from where they stood and proceed E to CPF AY. Other deets were lost, but guessing it was for the shove into the yard. At 0336, the FI-1/2 parking spot and W end of East Side were MT. 7 later, the EB staggers for Derby were dark, 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub.
0344 would be the start of frequent Yard-Channel hash, so guessing 264 and/or FI-3.
The P&W Road activity -- when not hashed -- seemed to revolve around non-426/7 business, and 0410 would close out with a "Back for 30. Good switches" acknowledgment on Yard Channel to preceding hash.

0206-0410/07-12-2023 started at the start with Road-side hash followed by D-2(two) to M426(six) with the CSXT 487. Garble now happened cuz I was moving, something about 427(seven) being clear. 5 later and when I was in the sag at the Boylston/West Boylston line, there was Road-side garble, "W and clear" being the clarity. Dispatcher-side garble followed so mebbemightacouldabenn a westerly 427 saying they were WB and D-1 acknowledging.
At 0228, there was brief Dispatcher-side hash, and 11 later, the 333 WLs were dark. and markerless racks were on the 1. The 334s were also all at Stop, but there were no racks, unlike 07-10. A later look would show that the 07-12 racks extended only a bit W of the platform. The 335s were dark, and at 0244, D-2 241d M426 1 E to 1 at CPF LO.. 9 later there would be a broken D-2 241 for CPF BY, possibly for 426, there being only 3 miles difference.
Up Da Hill, the 345s were at Stop, and 2 and 4 in the yard were a copy-and-paste of 07-10. The Timpany Boulevard UGB was MT, but there were racks -- the Wachusetts of 07-10 transplanted? -- on 2 at the Wilkins Road dogleg. At 0306, the 346 WL was at Stop, naught visible E.
EB and at 0315, there was D-2 garble to M427(seven) with mentions of LJ and 426(six) being clear. 2 later, FI-2 called D-3, and the 5949 got 241d 2 W to Single at CPF 335 and straight ahead. After the readback and corrects, naught further clear to, from, or about FI-2 would leave the speaker, so no idea if they were headed further W or would be shoving more racks back on 1.
At 0327, the 333 WLs were as before, and 1 later, there would be brief Dispatcher-side hash. The EB staggers for the 330s would be at Approach, and all else dark, up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0345, 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub.
At 0340, the FI-1/2 parking spot had -- unsurprisingly -- been MT, as had the W end of East Side.
Radio silence got broken at 0452, 1st by Yard-Channel hash and then Dispatcher-side hash/ The final 18 were quiet.

Let's all think happy thoughts about West Portal.
 #1625884  by jaymac
 
0205-0400/07-18-2023 broke some patterns, the major 1 being that naught IDable came outta the speaker from D1 or D-3. D-2 1st got heard at 0214 when he answered and overed, naught immediately further, so it coulda been somebody looking for a light. 3 later and when I hadda keep eyes on the road so couldn't see the channel, came brief garble and "7609."
At 0306, D-2 would ask somebody about the signal for Track 1 at CPF LO. 0308 would be when D-2 asked M427 with the CSXT 468 if they had a signal at Meadowcroft Street. After their response, he 241d them 1 to 2 E at CPF Meadowcroft, adding they should bring it down to WA and tie it down. Garble became the mode, but "cab" was clear. At 0331, D-2 answered NA-2 but then started garbling. Among the clarity was a ? if they were gonna drop all the cars on the W end and something about Westford. At 0341, I was in a ZombieZone for all Ds, but it sounded like 2 was asking somebody if they were ready to move yet. Then there was another ? about somebody not being able to get over the bridge, a stand by, and ?s about the cab and if they had space for whatever crew he was talking to. Never heard how that worked out.
As far as the rest of the trip, at 0236, the 333 WLs were dark, as would be the 334s and 335s.
Up Da Hill the 345s were dark. The Extension had 3 covered hoppers. 2 in the yard had 1 or 2 covered hoppers and then a long string of DS trash however far W of Royal Steam Heater. 4 had a mix of tanks and covered hoppers E, and by the Pratt yard there were covered hoppers, mebbe 2, mebbe 4, mebbe both.
At 0310, the 333 WLs were dark. The EB staggers for 330 were at Approach, but all else dark, up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0333, 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub.
The P&W Dispatcher St. Albans got loud at 0346, quickly going into garble mode after asking for the crew and on-duty time. The time was long enough and right enough for permission for a westerly M427 transit between Barber and Worcester, but hoonose.
The last few were both literal and figurative crickets.
 #1625993  by jaymac
 
0205-0355/07-20-2023 started at the start with some Dispatcher-side garble, switches being lined and locked normal being the only clarity. At 0214, D-2 answered FI-2 and gave the 5958 permission to reverse direction from where they stood and proceed W on 2 to CPF-AY, suggesting Arrowhead activity, more about which later.
At 0218, there was Boston West hash, 3 later serving up P&W Road hash, an intermittent constant throughout the trip, no clarity for 426 or 427 coming outta the speaker. 1 after that, D-2 would call out to LO53, no immediate further developments getting to me.
At 0236, the 333 WLs were at Stop, markerless racks on 1 to the W. the 334s were all at Stop, but the racks didn't get that far W. The 335s were dark. At 0241, there was Road-Side hash and then Dispatcher side garble with only "Camp" being clear. Mebbe FI-2 -- or not.
A series of public-safety incursions started at 0250, and the 345s were dark. The Extension, 2, and 4 looked like they had on 07-18, and I got EB.
At 0302, there was more Dispatcher-side hash followed in 2 by "Roger. Copy all. Highball to Meadowcroft Street." Your guess is better than mine.
The ramp from Rte. 2 EB to Princeton Road/Rte. 31 was closed for ditching, so there was no viewing of the 333 WLs, EB staggers for 330, or the 330.8 WBs. All was dark from the 330s to -- at 0326 -- the EB staggers for Derby, 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub.
At 0321, the FI-1/2 parking spot had been MT and 2 boxes had been sitting on the W end of West Side. There were also trashes on the W end of East Side, and at 0331, D-3 told FI-2 he wanted to confirm they were on West Side, adding something breaking about switch or signal. 10 earlier, FI-2 had been among the invisible.
Only P&W Road hash.garble and CSX Boston Sub hash would provide proof of scanner finction for the balance of the trip.
 #1626108  by jaymac
 
0210-0415/07-22-2023 was quiet until 0222 D-3 garble that included a roger and then something about interlocking limits of CPF FG, 2 possibilities to follow. That reception would be followed immediately by an extended spell of P&W Road hash, the only possible hint of any westerly M427 presence.
At 0240, there would be more Dispatcher-side hash, and 2 later, the 333 WLs were at Stop, markerless racks W, just like on 07-20. Also just like on 07-20, the 334s would be at Stop and no cars visible. At 0248, D-2 reached out to M427, saying they would tie down at Graniteville, asking for an estimate on cab time, and rogering their response. The 335s were dark.
Up Da Hill was fogged/clouded in, and the 345s were dark. From the Yard Lead Switch W, 1 had 3 covered hoppers and DS trash to mebbe the ambulance company. How many mighta been repositioned from 07-20 dunno. What could be seen of 2 and 4 was MT.
EB at 0309, A breaking TC called out to D-3 for Foul Time, D-3 giving TC 1765 all tracks between CPF FG and CPF Derby effective 0310.
Unlike 07-20, the ramp from Rte @ EB to Princeton Road/Rte. 31 was open, the 1st stop being the platform where racks could be seen by the W end. The lot lights were off, so dunno how far W the racks mighta gone.
At 0319, things were unchanged at the 333 WLs. The EB staggers for 330 were at Approach, and the 330.8 WBs and GL WLs were dark, but the 330 WLs and ELs were at Stop, a stopped mebbe495ED on 1 with dark KCIRs 7575 and 7727 plus NewBlue 3403 and mixed general that didn't extend to the gym. The FG WLs and ELs were at Stop, and at 0335, dark and E-facing NewBlue 5958 sat just W of the 2 boxes that have been on the W end of West Side for a bit. The W end of East Side was MT.
At 0342, there were 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub, and to the E, only 1 green light could be seen by the staggers, but there were standing white lights, presumably from the TC who hadn't gotten time limits.
Radio silence would get broken by 0405 Road-side hash followed by Dispatcher-side hash, mebbe or not the TC and D-3.

Big thanks to newpylong for keeping us more armchair types updated!

0200-0355/07-31-2023 was on the quiet side, there not being even Road-side hash until 0226. At 0227, D-3 answered AY-3 who was now slightly clearer as I gained elevation on Rte. 2 WB. There was something about Spagna and Flanagans, D-3 responding that he would give them a signal indication. Radio silence -- for me at least -- would now be observed.
At 0233, the 333 WLs were dark, the 334s, 335s, and 345s likewise in sequence. There was mixed general -- 1 box, some unplacarded tanks, and covered hoppers -- from the E FP up to W of Royal Steam Heater. If there was anything else W on either 2 or 4, it was not reflective.
EB and at 0303, there was brief Road-side hash, "AY-3" being clear. If there was any D-3 response, Mount Wachusett was then in a position to block it.
At 0306, the 333 WLs were still dark. The EB staggers for 330 were at Approach, all others dark up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0330, 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub.
At 0323, NSs 6971 and 4413 plus KCIR 7675 had been sitting dark and light power on the W end of West Side (others can guess, but I won't), and covered hoppers had been on the W end of East Side.
There had been a few P&W Road and CSX Boston Sub hash eruptions, but too brief to indicate possible M426/7 activity. The last "company" reception would be at 0341, a badly broken non-D-3 Line 2. Coulda been either D-1 or D-2.

I hope the reason we have not been getting our tri-weekley reports on Central MA B&M is that Jaymac is away on vacation and nothing worse. I miss seeing those.

To 1st answer johnhenry's 0746/08-16, cascading car problems have limited my mobility. With 100+ miles and no "CHECK ENGINE" light reappearing, things may have been resolved.

0205-0400/08-18-2023 started off with 10 minutes of quiet, 0215 presenting Yard-Channel hash, something that would be frequent. The early bits of clarity would be AY-3 IDs, but others would follow.
At 0242, the 333 WLs were dark, the 334s and 335s likewise with more Yard-Channel hash as punctuation.
Almost into Gardner and at 0254, the P&W 25.9 detector announced that the system was working, and 1 later the P&W Switcher called out to D-3 to advise that they'd left nothing and that they'd catch him on the next, D-3 replying with thanks. Heard naught further from the 25.9 detector, so dunno, but do know that that an early AM P&W Switcher is about as rare as 1 month with 2 Super Moons. Dunno how many the P&W had taken S to leave the yard MT. Oh yeah -- the 345s were dark.
EB at 0306, the Yard-Channel hash resumed, AY-3's ID occasionally being heard.
At 0312, the 333 WLs were dark. The EB staggers for 330 were at Approach, all else dark up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0331, the same time the RVJ stub was MT.
At 0325, the W end of East Side and the FI-1/2 parking spot had been MT, curious since FI-2 hadn't and wouldn't come outta the speaker.
At 0336 the Yard-Channel hash pattern got broken by a hashed Dispatcher-side/Road-side exchange, followed in 3 by more Road-side hash followed by Dispatcher-side semiclarity about wanting to shove back 1 car on Track 11, CPF AY, and somebody yarding there now.
0342 offered up both 264 and then FI-3(three) coming outta the speaker, but too briefly to see which channel. Yard-Channel hash would next resume.
At 0352, D-2 gave NA-2 with the 518 from NSU?? to Nashua South, and 0358 would offer up a Yard-Channel convo about the trailer and Wye Switch and questions about a CSX cab, mebbe a pickup, no a van, and then garble.
The 0400 closing reception was possibly from 264 or mebbe even FI-2 since said reception advised of 2-1/2 containers to a stop.
