A mixed bag of black GATX and red TLTX hoppers came through Hollis eastbound today around 1330, between 30-40 cars, I believe. My view of the power was blocked by the rear cars of an eastbound LIRR diesel train. At 1615, an MP-15ac & a GP38-2 came westbound through Jamaica with eight to ten loaded high-sided gondolas. Passing over the Pine-Aire siding northbound on the Sagtikos Pkwy. at 1945 revealed loaded gondolas on both sides of the overpass and the headlight of a locomotive moving down the siding towards the overpass from the east with cars behind it. Traffic slowed on the N/B side as motorists slowed down for a state trooper on a carstop just north of the overpass, providing a little more than just the usual fleeting glimpse of the siding while going home.
