08:03 - EB X192 with CN 3067 and rear DPU CN 3811 by the Charlotte SteelHighways cam
09:29 - EB>SB X192 with CN 3067 and rear DPU CN 3811 takes the Chicago Wye and goes SB on the Holly -
X19251 aka Q19251 is Prince Rupert, BC to Moterm - all intermodal - to note, the last car before the rear DPU is one of the inspection boxcars we normally only see on 148/149 and 122/123.
10:51 - EB E280 with CN 3225 thru Charlotte for Flat Rock
no Q116 today but we get two trains instead of one.
