0240-0435/07-19-2021 showed the value of sometimes being early. At 0241, D-3 called out to Q427, rogered what they said, and thanked them. It was probably for 427 calling into DCS, as will be seen.
There would be only rare -- and possibly spurious -- Yard Channel garble, and the 333 WLs would be dark at 0311, the usual observations to follow.
When I was almost all the way WB up Da Hill, D-3 answered a garbling FI-3, rogered what they said, and OKd them on signal indication. Wherever FI-3 was, it wasn't Gardner, the 345s being dark and the yard MT.
The EB leg of the trip had some Yard Channel hash, "22K" being the sole clarity. That was followed at 0334 by D-3 acknowledging that TC 600 was giving up his foul time on 1 between FG and Derby, and at 0340, the 333 WLs maintained darkness.
Further east the 330.8 WBs showed a Clear for 1 and a Stop for 2 and the 330 WLs Stops. There were loccupied wells visible on the #2 by Zeda's, Dark NSs 6971 and 1202 sitting across from the platform, The 330 1 WL showed a Clear, and the GL and FG WLs showed Stops. At 0345, D-3 cancelled TC 600's Form D G326, an indication of how busy 07-18 musta been.
After some Yard Channel garbles and at 0357, KCIR 5972 sat dark, solo, and facing west in the FI-1/2 parking spot, and at 0404, the EB staggers for Derby were dark, and a company hopper still sat on the RVJ stub. A few later and in Mount Wachusett electromagnetic shadow zone, D-3 garbled something to mebbe AYPO about 22K, followed up with a ? about coming off East Wye, and followed with more hash.
What happened at 0422? The MP X7.8/Temple Street/Rte. 140 gates came down in front of me, noise got made, the X7.8 talker talked, and all-Bolt trio CSXTs 3323, 464, and 987 ever-so crossed the crossing.0425 was when the gates came up to the NoDefectsTransmissionOver solo, showing the amount of time it takes for 3 units and 26 cars to cross that crossing. A short train woulda been more so if it weren't for the ~1/2 MT LPGs -- Portsmouths? -- that sat among the few boxes and gons. I woulda still been on the road, so never heard noise for the X6.0. Also unheard for attribution had been any and all of the AY locals.
As another poster on another forum discussed, there may have been flooding-related delays, but dunno.
