A Sperry car was at the east end of Beacon Park Yard earlier this afternoon.

Consist with 904, 274 1529 & 1721 (with blind end trAiling) sitting in South Station, off the B&A at 3pm today. No ballast cars in tow.

PS. The 904 lite was approaching Yawkey just before noon today.

I saw several MBTA hoppers sitting on top of the Lake Street bridge in Winchester this morning

The cars in Winchester are in storage for now.

The ballast cars on the west end of the Grand Jct were not picked up by the extra due
some trainline/air issues. Simply ran out of time to fiddle with them further and still
make Middleboro.

MBTA Middleboro Extra is in Middleboro right now (10AM), probably a plow or flanger train...

2 flats and 2 double deckers sitting in Middleboro now, along with 2 HSP's...too far for car #'s

Thought I'd post this here, after all it is an extra.

Tonight, there was a fairly small LORAM grinder out doing its thing on the Old Colony Line around the Neponset River Bridge.

I'd imagine they'll be found elsewhere on the system throughout the week.
