Wire train?

Hey, does anybody have an idea of where the wire train is tonight?

I think I just heard it blowing for the crossing next to the Ivy Ridge station.

One has been working on the Norristown line at night, and the other has been working on the line to Elwyn in the daytime

It is coming back from the Elwyn line at that time to go into Powelton yard out of the way for rush hour

Seems like the Powelton wire train has been going to the Elwyn Branch in the morning. Around 11pm the Wayne Junction wire train goes out to Norristown, followed by the Powelton Wire train after midnight.
