The 24 is out of the house this morning. No action from NS, CSX dropped off 2 hoppers yesterday. 4 Superliners again this morning - no snow

4? So they went from 3 Horizons to 4 Superliners? Don't those hold more passengers?

I just count what I see I'm GUESSING, more capacity for the Thanksgiving travel period:?

Had a great sunny first hour of the day, dark clouds could have been great for an eastbound..but no...and now the clouds have taken over.

JT like tom stated those are for the thanksgiving rush, Keep a look out closer to thanksgiving they will probably have 5 superliners, also the wolverenes grow to at least 8 coaches at thanksgiving.

Y121 is requesting permission to use the Windquest switch (Riley Street) - so should be seeing them shortly...

a Supperliner Coach does hold more than a horizon. But not all Superliners do. the sleepers hold considerably less. and the Coach-Baggages hold less than the regular coaches. Not being near where they are running I'd be interested in knowing what types of supperliner cars AMTK is running there. (mostlikely Coach and coach-baggage, possibly a sightseer or a Cross-country)

I'll see if I can get out tomorrow morning and take some pics of Amtrak so we can figure out what types of cars they are using through Holland.

Y121 just finished up at Windquest and headed south back to Waverly. Anyone know why we have been seeing two cabooses on Y121 lately?

In years past that I have seen it, it was strictly coach, with mabey a coach baggage in the mix.

Light power heading south to Waverly, D801 - just went by Riley Street - BNSF engines 9948, 5890.

darn it, I was crusing through Holland at 10:30. Where is Windquest? I heard nothing on the scanner.

I don't get how Q326, and Q334 can be on the Plymouth High Rail, its my understanding thats the track Q326 uses to switch Plymouth with the Wye that N956 also Takes, there isn't a cross over for 334 or 335 to take to get from that track to the wye.

118 is in the yard at the GRE waiting for 371 tomorrow morning.
