GRE - WB Leonard at 2:15 with 15 CHs. Signals not working, train flagged thru the intersection. Doesn't appear like the signals to the north/west are working either.
Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness.
Re: September Shortlines Updates
IIRC, they're all under one circuit, so because the Plainfield/Leonard signals were cut due to the work, the other ones to the east were cut too.

Also keep in mind Q327 has only been running on mornings instead of evenings now for the past few months.

If they come down Monday, they won't go until Tuesday's Q327.
Typically, Z627 has been getting to Holland just hours after Q327 passes, leaving all of their cars with a nearly 24-hour layover. Perhaps they're thinking they can cut it down and save a day by coming down evenings.
We'll have to watch this one

Not sure if GRE came to Lowell today, but the Lowell yard is full, mostly CP hoppers. They have been here most days this week.
