Caught them at the Rt33 crossing going out at about 1600. Run down of train as follows: 2 centerbeams 1 reefer 1 centerbeam 2 box 2 covered hoppers 1 reefer and 8 tanks.

That train you saw Friday is still sitting on the pads at Rockingham jct. Also there is 1 Boise box on the west end of the Portsmouth siding and the poll loads are still there as well in the center of the siding. Anyone know where these pole loads are destined for?
