Just before 11 this morning, it looked like RJ Corman (red Sterling tractors) was loading the last of 3 sidewinders back on the trailers on the West end of Wyoming Yard. Must have had an oops yesterday or last night?

As of 2 PM, Q327 was finished assembling its train at Rougemere and was calling the yard tower for permission to head west. They won't be going to far though, as the RN has given the interlocking at Oak Yard to a maintainer until 15:00, meaning Q327 will have to wait at P Company Junction until he clears up.
This info from Chris/Epic Fail.

Y303 is out and about again in North Yard. Most likely getting together tomorrow's D717 train to Detroit.
