Hi, per an earlier post by Pudgy, M327-16 was annulled today. Also he had posted M327 & M326 are back to daily (7 days/week) operations as of Sept 11th.

Sorry it was L301-16

L303-15 with CSX 7568 & 5380 is putting it's train together in Wyoming Yard. Reporting from the oval @ Wyoming Yard. Wondering if Barr is stuffed, will CSX stash more cars up here? There is plenty of room in Wyoming Yard. L303-15 departing Wyoming Yard @ 12:40.

Also have to keep in mind that close to half of Wyoming Yard is out of service...

Why is half the yard OOS?

It's not really half the yard. The even yard is being used for storage of cars not being used currently, so there are a few tracks that are locked out to prevent access to them unless moves are necessary into them.
