Please do not poke at the ramp agent because he has the power to make your vacation
memorable or miserable. It all depends on what flight you bags go on.

P371-25 is currently stopped at Kirk. AMTK 90413 leading.
Apparently someone is stuck on the tracks at Coloma Rd. In November, someone took out one of the crossing signals at Coloma Rd. There is an s-curve there that gets people all the time in the winter.

10:25am...crossing ok for track speed...P371 ok to depart Kirk.

11:39 EST: Crews just fired up the MQT 3390 at the House in Wyoming. They've got another pumpkin behind it. Must have come down last night and just left the power here over night.

About 15 minutes ago 4 units lite power cam in from the East to GRP, and straight to the house. A big EMD, the 254 and then the 6455 and 2339 slug set. MQT is holding out over Plaster Creek for the jetblowers to finished clearing the leads so MQT can get on their train.

That was not these...I watch an SD40-2 and the 2680 wye their power earlier from the Amshack. That power is currently tied up to a string on the coach, I believe the Alto Local. Z151 is on 10k waiting for the jet blower to get out of the way onto the Old Even lead...they're going to the cinder pit to get more fuel.

Yessir...you don't recognize the hat because you were not out for the Santa Train!

Z151 was told to stop at Fulton Street so Track crews could take care of the GRE switch...train was blocking Fulton to Market at that point. Back on the move at 15:25 EST

If that Z151 is going north in the daylight somebody should chase it, big big drifts up here. Some could be up to the walk ways.
