Not to mention there are literally hundreds of employees who have never been around an HHP and have no idea where everything is. Don't tie your hopes into seeing one out in ...

Two trains lay over at Trenton
West Trenton has a four track yard which is packed with trains every night

Today's 42 (10) has the NS 9913, the 302, and the 115. All three are coming off at Harrisburg. The 115 laid an egg last night and 30 dropped off an engine, but facing the wrong way. Hence the Dash 9, 8600HP for 7 cars
