D708 w/CSXT 4018 back at Ensel with 41 cars.

[cnw8835]

D707 west at Seymour at roughly 1820.

[BL2-1843]

D708 w/CSXT 4018 back at Ensel with 41 cars.

And, the same 41 they arrived in Howell with. Had a slew of GLC cars to set off, but GLC showed up 90 minutes prior to their arrival and sat off a bunch of long LPG tank cars for pick up, but without any hasmat bills. Couldn't set off, because they couldnt pick up so will bring them back another day. Last time that happened, it took 708 four trips to Howell before GLC got the bills to them.

Oh great, 41 cars today and these cars are getting plugged-up by just one job working them. When is CSX going to realize they need to run Q326/327 east of GRP again (Or something similar)?

Looks like they could use a larger interchange yard...

Can't say for certain, but it looked like perhaps D707 had dropped off another set of cars for 708 while they were out. Had a full track in Ensel with a very similar consist right next to where it looked like they were going to park those 41 cars. May be building a backlog.
