Please don’t get anyone’s hopes up. Don’t need people to waste time waiting for hours for a train.

Bangor chat says that the next coal empty expected out of west olive is E80107, but they are not on duty yet.

m326 with 126 cars and power only on the headend? well, it's dry enough, hope they make the hill
