HSER Durand job went south through the Genesee yard at 350pm today with both the UP engines. Seems awfully late. At the same time it looks like the 800 job was working the Genesee yard. Power was HSER 3865 and 3867.

To add to JDavis's post I'll add that HESR's 810 job (works around Reese Vassar area) had 3838/3826for power. Seems like today was matching consist day on the HESR.

That is pretty late. So they probably won't make it to Durand until 5pm or so. Latest I have ever seen thim come into Durand was between 4 & 4:30pm.
