I like the image idea. I don't know about everyone else, but I can't tally up the cars based on sequential posts. A single image makes it really easy.

Maybe this question has been asked and answered already (if so my apologies). I noticed in that post with the backround image that the 700 series numbers are single column while the 800 series cars are listed with a back slash between to sequential numbers. Does this mean those 800 series will be married pairs and the 700 series will all be single cars?

Yes.

On top of that, the 900 series numbering will be reserved for widowed cars, in the event that there will be a divorce, widows will not be considered single for accounting purposes.

I apologize for not knowing this, but what is the meaning of the (Canadian?) maple leaf flag notation for train #702?

702 is in Canada for HVAC testing. (They have a big chamber there where they can control the environmental conditions at will).

I missed it by minutes!
I believe they were 706 and 707

Three more Silverliner V's were ferried from South Philadelphia to Woodbourne today by a CSX extra; I ran into the conductor off that job on my way out of work. He hadn't checked out car numbers, however.

708,811-812 are handed off to Woodbourne this morning.

I will update the graphic once I get home. Also, re706-707 I would like an authoritative posting, not just an assumption, as logical as it seems.
