0305-0455/07-13-2020 would feature -- among other things -- 2 warnings of the potential dangers of distracted driving. Walking to the car, I'd heard possible 427 prime-mover noise, but anything further would be in the future. There were occasional Yard Channel eruptions -- some extended -- but naught intelligible. The NB approach to the Rte. 12/MP X11.87 OHB in Sterling would present the 1st distracted-driving hedzup -- a roadside dead doe.
At 0332, D-3 let 22K with NS 8133 know that he had held them at Derby cuzza AYPO and AY-3, and they were to go to 1 with overflow to 2, a trash car being on 2. A cab would be called for help and the cars -- racks? -- were to go to the Camp. To conserve precious suspense, naught further would be heard -- at least by me -- to, from, or about 22K, AY-3, or AYPO.
At 0336, the 333 WLs were dark, Yard Channel intermittencies would continue, and the usual pattern of the 334 ELs at Stop and darkness for the 334 1 stagger and 335s would hold.
There would be a slight continuation of static, and -- 2nd warning warning -- a buck began his ascent of the northerly embankment of State Road/Rtes. 2A and 140 about 3 seconds ahead of me. Ah, the randomness of close encounters!
The rest of the WB trip up Da Hill was quiet where the 345 ELs and WLs were all at Stop. Yard 4 was pretty much FP-FP with MT racks, and Yard 2 had fewer general -- a non-placarded tank east at Chair City Oil and MT bulkheads plus hoonose what else west. The regulator and tamper were still House residents.
The EB trip was quiet until 0402 garble, followed at 0405 by a D-3 shoutout to Q427. A coupla roadside minutes were spent awaiting for non-materializing developments, and at 0408, the 333 WLs were dark.
Further east, the 330.8 WBs were both at Clear and the 330 WLs at Stop. The GL WLs were dark, but a swing by the platform was made in case the 330.8s mighta been a hint of a soon-to-be WB (remember the heavy lifting to be done at Gardner?), but the Stops indicated naught within my limited attention span.
The FG WLs were dark, and at 0421, the FI-1/2 parking spot was MT, but it looked like stationary number boards further east on East Side among the cars spotted there.
At 0427, the EB staggers for Derby were dark, and at 0428, D-3 started a convo with Q427 and CSXT 3163. Were they west and clear of Burncoat? D-3 next acknowledged they were west and clear of MP X6. Cab to Burncoat or New Bond? Another call to the cab company would be made to see what was up, saying at 0430 the cab should be there any minute and wishing a good Monday. Never heard a fulfillment of Form Dwhatever, so guessing it was a Burncoat tiedown.
In additional unheards for the remainder of listening was aught to, from, or about AY-4, AY-5, POED, ED-9, POED, or EDPO.
