to clarify...they towed the 114 from MO this morning to Harmon, but the 114 came off the Waterbury shuttle sometime yesterday.

CDOT 130 headed light with the NW switching crew after 10 a.m yesterday to pick up that bomb train in Brewster yard. They brought it to NWP, hitched the 130 back to the south end of one of the waterworld trainsets and the AMMO came up to NWP to pick up that disabled bomb train.

The 103 was on the south end of one of the waterworld trainsets with the 104 on the north end of that trainset last night in NWP. The single-ended waterworld still has the 115 on the north end.
