I missed last night's M426 which was only an hour or so after M427.

M426 was off the B&A at 19:51 with CSXT468/42/467 and 28 rail train cars, 34 mixed freight.

M427 passed Chester at 22:37, looks like they dropped the first 37 cars at W. Springfield (scrap/Irving lumber cars).

Interesting that when 427 made their setout at W. Springfield they actually held on to the first 10 cars on the headpin. Also, on Tuesday with a light train it appears they made a pickup of Selkirks in Worcester for a different twist.

If they're hot cars they don't get set out.

Not even necessarily "hot" by exception, but also possibly according to their individual service standards by plan.
