M426 was off the B&A at 18:19, so it looks like there was No M427 last night/today.

At about 14:00 M427 CSXT 488 told by B+E "talk to the yard for instructions". At 14:09 they received no defects, but no axle count from the Littleton detector. Seems like westbound trains don't always get axle counts for some reason.

9K feet for "through trains", 4750 for "trains that work the yard". I am sure they are exceeded as NS asserted in their lawsuit a year ago. I doubt CSX cares, what is NS going to do about it? Boot them from the partnership? CSX would love to get out of it lol.

M427 heard blowing for Shrewsbury Street approximately 3:30pm. Given the interval between then and its appearance at CP45 perhaps a crew change at Barbers?

M426 should be at CP45 in the not too distant future.
