The Strates Carnival train left 28th from Florida and should be around Baltimore around this time.

this from trainorders.com:

The Strates Carnival train should be in the DC area around sunrise, and will most certainly be seen in morning light for their crewchange in Baltimore. HEADS UP north of Richmond!

I understand this train is now having trouble getting through Jersey as usual CSX will probably outlaw the train at least one more time before it gets to selkirk

Strates Show train moving again east of Chatham village after sticking
brakes on one car found. Houstonic RR will have to look at it.
