Gardner Gawking

For those who may not have seen this yet, a more permanent view of the 1712 than the Chester railcam: http://photos.nerail.org/s/?p=275301

0210-0405/05-29-2023 started off with brief Dispatcher-side hash, followed in 8 by CSX Boston Sub hash. At 0230, D-1 called M427 with CSXT 8872, who answered. That was a surprise cuz I was by then outta range of any Worcester-area receptions from power.
D-1 advised he was just checking in, further receptions. Mount Wachusett made its presence oibvious by hashing the next couple, but D-1 cleared up while repeating the "52 MTs" portion of the update. There was a broken discussion of hazmats, and Mount Wachusett again became obstructionist.
At 0241, the 333 WLs were dark, likewise for the 334s and 335s. A bit further WB and at 0248, D-1 would start Form D G102 for MP WOR1 to Burncoat, time effective 0250. There would be more, but with more Mount Wachusett Effect.
Up Da Hill, the 345s were dark. 2 in the yard had mixed general -- a coupla boxes, covered hoppers including a shortie, an unplacarded tank and mebbe a corrosive tank further W -- that ran from the E FP to mebbe the ambulance company. The visibles on 4 were covered hoppers.
EB and at 0305, there was Boston East hash, and 2 later D-3 answered FI-2, rogered what they said and rogered what they next said. The 333 WLs were dark at 0312, the EB staggers for 330 at Approach.
Post refueling stop, all else was dark up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0336, 3 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub.
At 0332 what would be some FI-2 car countdowns had started getting received, guessing mebbe Derby. The FI-1/2 parking spot had been MT at 0330, the W end of East Side having double-stack trashes.
At 0343 D-probably1 asked somebody if they were gonna be able to make down to ???, Mount Wachusett again in the way.
0344 was when D-2 answered NA-2, naught further getting to me.
0353 was the start of a number of D-1 calls to M427. I could occasionally hear garble from M427, so guessing they mighta been Clinton or E. D-1's last attempt heard by me was at 0355, and 427's last attempt heard by me was at 0357.
CSXT: Again I trust more reliable comms is an item on the KittyCat to-do list.
I gave it until 0405 in my driveway to hear any further developments but none got to me. As of posting at 0505 , no XNG noise for Temple Street got to me, either.


Let's give it up for all of those who gave far more than any of us ever did.

0210-0410/05-31-2023 was heavy on hash, brief Yard-Channel variety at 0212, followed by extended 0214 Dispatcher-side hash that cleared at the end to allow "I heard. Congratulations." Me too for whatever.
At 0242, the 333 WLs were at Stop, KCIR 7517 and NewBlue 7561 -- yes, just 2 -- having done just that a bit W on 1 with general trailing. Over at the all-Stops 334s, there were black tanks E and slurries W. The 335 ELs and WLs were also at Stop, no marker visible.
At 0253 and 4, there was a brokenBoston West reach out to LA-2, and 0300 and 0302 featured D-2 garble, 0303 being a partial with "west end of Fitchburg," more to follow.
As an OT hedzup, there was a message board at the Timpany Boulevard rotary advising that the ramp to Rte. 2 WB would be closed 06-03 and 04.
The 345s were dark, and 2 in the yard looked the same as on 05-29, 4 having changed to tanks through the E gaps and covered hoppers at the E end of the Pratt yard.
EB and at 0315, there was more D-3 garble, 5 later showing no changes at the 333 WLs from earlier. The EB staggers for 330 would be at Approach, all else up to and including theGL WLs dark.
At 0326, D-3 asked FI-2 how many trash cars they had for the west end, rogering and thanking without repeating FI-2's unheard-by-me response.
The FG WLs and ELs were at Stop, and FI-2 was hauling W, so I uied to the Credit Union, where KCIR 5956 was W of at 0336, getting a "15 more, FI-2" 1 later, then car countdowns, and a 0338 far enough. I continued E, and at 0339, the FI-2 C called out a Restricting and good for 25, the same time that 1 covered hopper sat on the W end of East Side and double-stack trashes sat to the S.
At 0345, the EB staggers for Derby were dark, and 3 covered hoppers sat on the RVJ stub.
At 0349 and 0351, there was Dispatcher-side hash, possibly from FI-2.
The balance of the trip was quiet, except for a short spell of P&W Road garble at 0404. That means that naught got heard to, from, or about AY-3 during a 2-hour window for their usual activity. " M427 unless the extended 0214 Dispatcher-side hash was for them.

0210-0400/06-02-2023 was a day of much Dispatcher-side side hash, and I'll spare my fingerrs and your eyes from the particulars.
At 0244, the 333 WLs were at Stop, and stopped on 1 were KCIR 7517 and NewBlue 7561, just as they had been on 05/31, and thus qualifying for entry into The Annals of Extended Dwell Time. Things also were the same as they had been at the 334s and 335 ELs and WLs. Up Da Hill, the 345s were all at Stop, 264 sitting on 1 with NS6953, CSXT 4531, and NS 9932 by the MART garage and wells and mebbe racks however far W. 4 in the yard had a mix of covered hoppers and scrap goes E, not extending past the ambulance company. At 0311 and again at 0314-6, there was extended P&W Road hash. 427-related?
On an OT hedzup update, the message board for the Timpany Boulevard to Rte. 2 WB ramp shutdown had been changed to 06-10 and 11. Dunno if there's any connection with roadwork not happening on Rte. 2 WB this week.
At 0317, things remained as before at the 333 WLs. The EB staggers for 330 were at Approach, all else dark, up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0336, 3 covered hoppers still on the RVJ stub. At 0330, dark, solo, and W-facing KCIR 5972 had sat in the FI-1/2 parking spot, the W end of East Side MT.
At 0345, there was D-2 garble to M427 (seven), the clear bits being a mention of LA-2 and taking the train over to Lowell. 3 later , there was P&W Dispatcher St. Albans garble about Track 1 and clear. Dunno if this might be an earlier 427. 0357 was when D-? cancelled something, and 0500 was when a somewhat-clearer St. Albans said he was letting M426 (six) into the yard and that they were to talk to WODA on the same channel.

0213-0415/06-05-2023 started at the start with M427 calling out to the P&W Dispatcher St. Albans for permission from Barber to Worcester. They had CSXTs 3150, 3204, and 82 plus 37x39 for *lost* tonnage and length, the permit -- 155 --effective at 0215. The 427/CSX Boston Sub convo started at 0219 was less clear. 427 had 20 to pick up for a total of 96. "Mountain" emerged from the now-hash, but dunno in reference to what. 0235 was when the D-1 side of the convo confirmed that 427 was W and clear of Barber.
At 0243, FI-2 reached out to D-3, things -- again -- getting hashed.

I'd suggest you have nothing you might choke on or spit out before you read the next bit.

At 0249, the 333 WLs were at Stop, and KCIR 7517 and NewBlue 7561 were in at least their 5th day of doing just that, rust-welding in place and causing consignees concern on when they might get their loads and shippers concern when they might get their MTs. The 334s and cars were the same as before, and the 335 ELs and WLs were at Stop.
D-2 had been hashing at 0253 about WA, about ??? at 0257, and issued a broken permission to reverse direction with the interlocking at WA, and then a broken 241 to the 502 1 later, possibly all the same activity.
Up Da Hill, the 345s were dark, The Extension and 1 mebbe as far W as the ambulance company had tented and wrapped centerbeams, unplacarded tanks, boxes, and covered hoppers among the visibles, 2 and 4 looking MT.
Dunno when the nighttime repaving of Rte 2 WB might continue but it wasn't today.
At 0328, the 333 WLs and residents remained unchanged. The EB staggers for 330 were at Approach, all else dark, up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0346, 3 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub.
Dark, solo, and W-facing KCIR 5972 had been in the FI-1/2 parking spot at 0342, the W end of East Side MT.
There had been a broken 241 at 0346, but naught else came outta the speaker by the end of 0415.
Has AY-3 joined AY-4?

0205-0410/06-07-2023 had CSX Boston Sub hash at 0216, but things were quiet until 0235 when D-? gave somebody permission back to their train.
At 0237, the 333 WLs were dark, meaning the EB of earlier days had finally gotten E. Same at the 334s and 335s.
The ramp from Rte. 31 to Rte. 2 WB was again closed for road work, so it was 2A through Westminster to South Gardner. At 0248, D-? -- mebbe the same D-? as 0235 -- called out to M426 (six), but then hashed, that being followed in 2 by Yard-Channel hash.
The 345s were dark, 2 in the yard having a mix of covered hoppers, CleanHarbors double-stack containers, and RailBoxes from the E FP to mebbe the ambulance company. The E end of 4 had a covered hopper and some more, but yellow, double-stack containers, marks not visible through the gaps.
EB, there was P&W Road hash at 0310, followed by somebody answering M427 (seven). Dunno what channel that mighta been cuz I was concentrating on staying between the LH guardrail and the barrels that were out so the RH guardrail could be rehabbed.
At 0315, the 333 WLs were dark and the EB staggers for 330 at Approach.
Post refueling stop, all else was dark, up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0341, the RVJ covered-hopper count now 2.
At 0335, dark and W-facing KCIR 5672 had been followed by E-facing KCIR 5972 and shorties on the W end of East Side.
The were some short and mebbe even spurious bursts of Yard-Channel and Dispatcher side hash. semiclarity coming at 0402 when D-2 said something to NA-2 that included 10 MTs.
0409-0410 P&W Road hash closed things out.

0215-0420/07-09-2023 started at the start with hash on the channel for San-Vel ops, something that would be repeated a few more times. Boston West contributed to the hash at 0223, and 2 later, CSX Boston Sub started a number of hashes.
At 0247, The 333 WLs were dark, and 1 later D-3 answered FI-2, rogering what they said. The 334s and 335s were also dark. At 0257, D-2 answered M426 (six) and then garbled, but there will be more. That was also the same time that a breaking D-3 gave 264 their yarding instruction, more -- again -- to follow.
OT -- The Timpany Boulevard rotary message board advised that the ramp to Rte. 2 WB would be closed 0500-1100 on both 06-10 and 06-11. Also OT -- It was good to see a moon that didn't look like it was made outta Cheez Whiz.
The 345s were at Stop, EDWhatever with KCIR 7595 and NewBlues7542 and 516 stopped on 2 across from the old platform. There were boxes, a solo slurry, more boxes, and then W of the ambulance company MT centerbeams and a string of slurries. The view was pretty well blocked by the boxes, but the Extension and 1 had occupants.
EB at 0311. prolonged D-2 hash started, "BY" and "power" being clear. At 0314, D-2 again answered M426 and, after whatever they said, called LA-2, asking them to give the C a ride cuz they had a long train.
At 0320, the 333 WLs were dark, and the EB staggers for 330 would be at Approach in a few, all else dark up to and including the FGs.
At 0338, dark and W-facing NewBlue 5963 sat W of dark and E-facing KCIR 5972 plus however many dark cars at the FI-1/2 parking spot, possible covered hoppers to the S.
NSs 6953, ????, and 8081 sat on 2 just W on the North Leominster platform, followed by general, making me wonder who'd been using the San-Vel ops channel.
Despite the EB just to the W, the EB staggers for Derby looked dark at 0347, though the power indicator was bright. 2 was the covered-hopper count for the RVJ stub. That was also the time of brief D-3 garble. 1 later, a breaking D-2 answered NA-2, saying something about 0x11 and also calling him when they got to Nashua with their engine, so mebbe the 0x11 were left at North Chelmsford.
At 0351 came "264, take it ahead about 3," then "Hold on," and then "3-step." 5 later, there was 1st Dispatcher-side hash and then Yard-Channel hash, more Dispatcher-side hash coming at 0258. At 0359, 264 called out to D-3 on Channel 2 x2, no response or repetition getting to me.
0401 was when D-2 answered LA-2 and told them to take it off power. BY?
0403 was the start of a both-sides-garbled P&W Dispatcher/M427 (seven) exchange about 427 having talked with D-1 and going Barbers to Worcester, most of which -- including lineup -- was lost.
0415 was when D-1 answered M427, naught else being heard from him, unless it got lost in the 0419 CSX Boston Sub garble.
Whatever 264's issues mighta been, 0420 closed out with "264, drop the 3."

0210-0410/06-12-2023 started at 0212 when D-3 answered AY-3. 2 later D-3 answered AY-3 x2. At 02215, D-3 asked AY-3 if they were looking at all reds and then gave AY-3 with the 7594 a 241 for 1 E at CPF WL to the the FM 1. There was further discussion -- now broken to me -- about the signal, D-3 saying it was not showing as a Clear, but a Permissive, full hash to follow.
At 0221, It was D-2's turn to hash, only "Rockingham: and "2 engines" clear.
More hash would come, particularly from the P&W, more to follow..
At 0237, the 333 WLs were dark, the 334s and 335s likewise.
There was o255 Dispatcher-side hash, and the 345 ELs were dark, but at 0256, the 346.6 announced she was working.. The 345 ELs were at Stop, hinting at a tie-down, but then the 2 WL went to Medium Clear, suggesting yard work. 1 in the yard had a mix of general up to mebbe the ambulance company, At 0302, the 346.6 gave a no defects and 58º, but naught else.6 minutes for a train that would have caught a Restricting suggested a short one, It was 0307 when at least 2 NSs -- #s obscured by foliage -- came to a stop on 2 just W of West Switch. Given that there'd be walking and winding and testing and walking back E, I got EB.
EB at 0312, there was extended Dispatcher-side hash, 0318 produced more Dispatcher-side garble with a clear "M427 (seven)." 3 later, the 333 WLs were dark, and the EB staggers for 330 would be at Approach. All else was dark, up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0341, 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub.
At 0332, there had been a broken D-2 241 to M427 (seven), but no idea where, unless mebbe Rockingham as discussed at 0221. 2 later, dark and E-facing NewBlue 5958 with a marker on its E end had been sitting up against covered hoppers on E side.
0336 had been the start of a D-1 convo with M426 (six) and the 478, sometimes clearer than others. Early on, the word was to hold on cuz they might have to tie down at New Bond. 3 later, D-1 had said that he'd just talked to the P&W and they 'd let them tie down at New Bond. There was more, but broken. At 0350 the P&W called 426 x2, and at 0357, D-1 told 426 they had permission from the P&W YM to tie down at New Bond.
I know I shouldn't, but I do get a small amount of personal vindication that I'm not the only 1 with reception difficulties.
The balance of the trip was quiet.

0210-0405/06-14-2023 started off with D-3 answering FI-2, his response to whatever they said being hash.
At 0216, the P&W Dispatcher St. Albans gave the P&W 4052 Barber to Worcester, which seemed ~1/2 day early or late for GRWO. 18 later, there was more St. Albans, but garbled.
At 0237, a breaking AY-3 called D-3, then said something broken about the Milling, D-3 giving an OK on signal indication.
At 0247, the 333 WLs were dark, " the 334s and 335s.
At 0257, D-3 answered FI-2 and gave the 5958 a possible 241, Mount Wachusett doing its usual mischief.
Up Da Hill, the 345s were dark, a presumed 16R with dark NS 6958 by Chair City Oil and followed by 2 Pumpkins, the 8870 and 8871, but carrying WFRX reporting marks and not BNSF, WFRX being Wells Fargo Rail Corp. 2 shorties , a tank, and other general continued at least past the Timpany Boulevard UGB. 4 in the yard had general that included an MT centerbeam. Whether the presumed 16R had done their setoffs in time for the possible GRWO, or the recrew would do that or their might be a later EDWhatever, dunno.
At 0309, there was D-Mebbe2 hash, and 9 later, the 333 WLs were dark. The EB staggers for 330 were at Approach, all else dark upto and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0340, 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub.
At 0333, the FI-1/2 parking spot had been MT, 1 covered hopper on the W end of East Side. 6 later there had been a D-? callout to M427, but I was in the Nashua Street ZombieZone then so anything further woulda gotten lost. 0341 had some hash on the San-Vel ops channel and 0351 just "AY-3."
0353 was when D-3 told AY-3 he'd let the Chief. know that the Spagna red door wouldn't open and that D-3 would call them when he had to see what the Chief said. I never heard, but there was other activity, starting at 0358 when the 1st clear and then broken and then clear again P&W St. Albans Dispatcher would give M427 permission Barber to Worcester, effective 0402. In repeating the train info, St. Albans said "3 engines and 27 MTs," no mention loads heard. Naught else came ouuta the speaker by the end of 0405, but as I was walking, there was 0408 XNG noise, mebbe 427 at New Bond.

0210-0410/06-16-2023 started off at 0213 when D-3 answered FI-2 and then OKd them on signal indication and then asking how many they were coming back with. Whatever D-3 next said was garble.
There was brief 0227 Dispatcher-side hash, followed by equally brief Yard-Channel hash.
At 0243, the 333 WLs were dark, and D-3 answered FI-2 who was in garbling range. D-3 said it showed that 11R had done a pickup, FI-2 saying that ?? was full and D-3 asking if there was any room on East Side, D-3 saying they should do that to whatever FI-2 said. The 334s and 335s would be dark.
At 0254, just "AY-3" came outta the speaker, the 1st and last heard of those guys while I was listening.
Up Da Hill, the 345s were dark. 4 in the yard was pretty much FP-FP with mixed general that included shortie and full-size covered hoppers, boxes, and tanks among the visible. From the E FP to the computer company, 2 had a bi=uncha MT centerbeams, a covered hopper, and a tank.
EB at 0310, there was brief Yard-Channel garble, and 6 later, the 333 WLs were dark. 4 after that, there was brief, D-2 garble, and the the EB staggers for 330 were at Approach.
Post refueling stop, the 330.8 WBs were dark, as were the 330s and the GL WLs, which then went to Stop at 0329. At 0331, Fi-2 called out to D-3 with breakage about what they had to do with their loaded trash. At 0333, D-2 would say something broken to M426 with the 481, naught further exiting the speaker during listening.
By the time I got to the FGs, they were dark, but at 0335, E-facing and solo NewBlue 5958 was WB to the E and the ELs went to Stop.
M427? There were only brief P&W Dispatcher St. Albans breakagesfrom 0357 and on, including letting the CSXT ???? into Greenwood, so dunno.

0215-0410/06-19-2023 had -- to conserve precious suspense -- naught IDable for M426 or M427 come outta the speaker though, with all the hash, hoonose?
0235 was the start of occasional an unattributable Yard-Channel hash, and at 0246, D-3 said something broken to FI-2 with the 5958 about CPF AY, possibly a permission to reverse direction and head E towards same, given later developments. At 0239, the 333 WLs were dark, as would be the 334s and 335s.
There was 0256 D-2 garble about WA, D-3 garble following in 3 to 22K about cars not fitting, Fitchburg, and permission to occupy the switch.
Up Da Hill, the 345s were dark, the yard MT, and the Jade lot lot occupied by a pair of possible optimists.
EB and at 0312, FI-2 called out to D-3. 1 later and with decreased elevation came Road-side garble, mebbe FI-2 again. There was no Dispatcher-side noise, but Mount Wachusett...
At 0317, the 333 WLs were dark, and the EB staggers for 330 would later show an Approach for 1 and Stop for 2, a Clear for 1 and Stop for 2 being on the 330.8 WBs. The 330 WLs were at Stop and trashes by the Bike Shop/Zeda's. The 330 ELs were at Stop and the GL WLs dark. From the E part of the platform and however far E, slurries sat on 2, mixed general to the W, the slurries and trashes suggesting an EDWhatever. Given the MTness of Gardner, kinda wondered how long things mighta been sitting there.
The FG WLs and ELs were at Stop, naught visible at least a bit W of the gym, so no guesses about power.Could even have been a WB with the power just E of the 330.8 WBs At 0333, D-3 answered AY-3, quickly going broken. There were complexities involving FI-2 and trash MTs and loads, AY-3 mebbe doing something with at least some of the loads, D-3 next giving a partial-to-me permission to reverse direction to AY-3 with 7595 at Camp, the direction and destination lost.
At 0336, the FI-1/2 parking spot was predictably MT, but the W end of East Side wasn't -- so many shorties. 7 later the EB staggers for Derby were dark, 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub.
At 0347, D-3 answered AY-3 and then gave the 7595 a 241 for 1 at CPF Camp E to 1. That would be the last clear reception, not even D-3's acknowledgment of a good read-back getting to me.

0215-0405/06-21-2023 was quiet intil a 0223 P&W Road tone, 2 later D-3 providing some garble.
0228 was the start of a both-sides-breaking M427/Saint Albans exchange, 427 wanting to head for Worcester, all other deets hashed. 6 after that, D-1 (one) called out to CSXT 466, but I was entering a ZombieZone, so -- again -- other deets got lost.
At 0247, the 333 WLs were dark, same for the 334s and 335s in turn. The 0259 D-? garble was also the start of extended radio silence for me.
Up Da Hill, the 345s were dark. 4 had mixed general from the E FP to mebbe the E end of the Pratt yard. 2 's covered hoppers started in backa the covered hoppers and tank that were on the W end of the Extension and W on 1 to mebbe the ambulance company. There were no centerbeams visible, so no idea what might be to or from the P&W.
At 0318, the 333 WLs were dark, and the EB staggers for 330 would show an Approach for 1 and Stop for 2. If that triggers a remembrance of 06-19, things were just the same same they had been 48 -- and however many other -- hours earlier up to and including the FGs being at Stop. What year does the B&E start?
At 0333, the FI-1/2 parking spot was MT, a solo covered hopper on the W end of East Side. 5 later, the EB staggers for Derby were dark, 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub. 1 after that, radio silence got broken by some hash on San-Vel ops channel.
At 0349, D-3 answered somebody unspecified, repeating that they wanted to go back into Hill Yard engine light, OKing them on Signal indication and down to WL.
0354 was when D-3 answered FI-2 x2 and then confirmed the switch was lined and locked normal, asking how many they had for West Main Street, that repetition broken, the roger not.
Only occasional P&W Road hash would round out the rest of the trip.

0220-0415/06-23-2023 was quiet until 0230 and 0233 P&W Yard breakage that included the St. Albans Dispatcher.
At 0239, D-2 (two) answered M427 (seven), asking them to repeat what they next said, and then repeating that they heard the East Kingston detector go off. More Dispatcher-side hash would follow, that followed by 0244-5 Dispatcher-side hash and 0247 D-2 breakage to 427 that included the C inspecting the S side and something else about 426.
At 0253, the 333 WLs were dark, the 334s and 335s likewise.
At 0301, there was Road-side hash, D-3 next answering AY-3 and OKing them on signal indication at 312. To save suspense, there would be no further AY-3 clarity.
Up Da Hill, the 345 ELs were at Stop, and trashes sat on the 2 on the Timpany Boulevard UGB. At 0309 came "Start back, 16R, for 25." The 345 2 WL was at Medium Clear, and what had been on the 2 at Timpany was now sitting on the Extension and and 1, the trashes starting by the computer company. The shove west showed up on 2 in the yard -- covered hoppers and clear-tented centerbeams -- and the C kept on giving car countdowns. At 0311, a breaking D-3 gave somebody permission to reverse direction from somewhere and proceed in whatever direction to somewhere else. Over at Planet Fitness, the power had cleared the XNG and the leader was sitting just clear of the Rte. 2 EB OHB, so no IDs. Given that walking/winding was underway and testing was still to go, I got EB.
At 0330, the 333 WLs were dark. the EB staggers for 330 at Approach in another few, meaning whatever had been sitting on 2 between the 330.8 WBs and FG WLs on 06-19 and 06-21 had moved on. The 330.8 WBs and all else were dark, up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0349, 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub.
There had been and would continue to be Dispatcher-side hashes, but naught of clarity about 427. At 0343, the FI-1/2 parking spot and the W end of East Side were MT.
At 0356, D-2 said something broken to L?? about an unspecified freight train on the single track, but the East Kingston detector is on Single.
The balance of the trip was garblepalooza, St. Albans and Road-side and Dispatcher-side the sources. The latter coulda been AY-3 and/or FI-2.

0215-0408/06-16-2023 started off quiet, silence not broken until 0236 and that by Boston West. However, given the lightning in the clouds to the N, S New Hampshire musta been noisy.
At 0245, there was a broken D-3 241 to M427 for the 312 to the 2. There was a continuation, but even more broken.
At 0248, the 333 WLs were dark, the same in sequence for the 334s and 335s, there having been brief Dispatcher-side hash at 0254 with more 2 later.
Most of the way WB up Da Hill and at 0259, D-2 issued some breakage to LA-2 that involved FR.
All the way up Da Hill, the 345s were dark and the yard occupied. The Extension and the E end of 1 had 9 covered hoppers, 2 had a mix of general that included trashes, and an Interforest-tented centerbeam was visible on 4 through the gaps. If we all think happy thoughts, mebbe a WB will relieve some of the congestion and the P&W will have less dancing to do. At 0304, D-3 had answered M427, saying something about when they recovered to try 1 more time. PTC? That would be the start of an extended period of radio inactivity.
At 0319, the 333 WLs were dark. The EB staggers for 330 would be at Approach and all else dark, up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0339, 2 covered hoppers on the RVJ stub.
At 0332, dark and W-facing NewBlue 5958 and dark and E-facing KCIR 5933 sat in the FI-1/2 parking spot, the W end of East Side MT.
At 0350, there was brief Dispatcher side hash, but then more quiet until 0403 when D-1 called out to M427 with CSXT 473 and issued Form D G102 for WOR1 to Burncoat. The readback was broken, and the time effective was 0406. D-1 asked for the time at New Bond for the cab, and 427 said probably ~0630. There was naught about train info.
On the theme of naught, there was naught in the form -- clear or otherwise -- of Yard-Channel receptions during the trip.

Noise at the Shrewsbury Street errrrrm... WOR 19.93 crossing @ 0531. Presumably M427 on pace to beat their time estimate down to New Bond healthily.
