And confirms what my Father, who saw the train while out for a bike ride, told me (80 cars, and the power).TAMR213 wrote:Browns transfer west through Highland Park at 12:30, no engine numbers or car count, but it had to be 50+...I counted 80 cars on today's OI-8.

The consist was:
CSXT 8886
NS 8853
NS 9801
OI-8 had to cross over from track 3 to track 1 (shoving east) at Midway to get in the clear on the Amboy Secondary, tying up the Corridor for a bit. At least two trains (one NJT and one AMTK) were held in the process. SA-3 met OI-8 on the Amboy Secondary and the hand-off was made once OI-8 was clear of the NEC. OI-8 then returned to Lane light.
