Hello,
In pouring rain, yesterday's SLQ westbound 393 departed Island Pond at 0851 with the following:

QG GP40-2L 3014
SD70MAC 4024
7 centerbeam flats
9 boxcars
6 covered hoppers
1 hi-sided gondola
59 tank cars

That's 82 cars total, including 5 loads and 77 empties!

And it appears that the road trains ran three nights this past week (Monday, Tuesday and Friday) plus possibly they also may have run a turn from Richmond to Island Pond and back.
Best,
Fritz
