Things were neither as entropic as they could have been for the 01-17-2010 LCT nor were they as smooth. D-3 had wanted to get the LCT east of Ayer so AYMO and various MBCRs would not be holding each other up. but efforts to remedy a 10-mph restriction on 1 between 313 and CPF-312 and traction motor troubles on the LCT -- eventually reset -- slowed things down. The LCT held west of the tower at 1305 while AYMO was completing its doubling and tests. At 1318, the LCT got a Line 4 up to Wagon Wheel and was east of CPF-AY at 1328 with NSs 9046, 8721, and 9429 plus 79. AYMO ended up clearing the west wye earlier enough to call out the LCT's marker, irony of ironies.
Somewhere, the LCT was supposed to meet BOPW, either on the Brook or backed of at CPF-NC.
