Have the units arrived in Sayre yet? I may have a reason to fly into Elmira on my return now...or maybe not.

I'll head over that way on Monday if I can swing it. You gonna be around, Tom?

Took a walk up by the station in Sayre at lunchtime. H11/12 working a relatively long train in the yard. Didn't have time to walk far enough up to check the yard for the 'new' units, but didn't see anything other than NS units.

Now I seriously wonder if Owego and Harford changed it's name to the Lehigh Railway too; as the person answering the phone answers Lehigh Railway. Can anyone confirm that both locations are now considered that?

The NS Elmira - Sayre turn leaves Elmira usually in the early afternoon for a half daylight turn. So it is a midday interchange. Enjoy it.

Where should I stick this? Someone can copy, cut and repost somewhere else. True story. Here's one from last night on the NS side if this could be the right place to stick it. A frozen solid Milliken coal train had to be brought back from Milliken up the 2% grade out of Ithaca which was doubled. With a recrew in Sayre this morning, the train was put back together in Sayre and promptly stalled on the .5% grade up to the mainline in Waverly - an operations nightmare and expense. The -10 to -20 degree weather is taking it's toll. How and where will the 90 cars be thawed? Just crazy.
