Stopped at Greenwich yesterday, and some trainwatchers said that trains were lined up on both sides of Willard waiting to get in or through the terminal.
In the 2' I was there, CSX ran 3 eastbounds via the B&O side to New Castle (1 85-car unit grain, 1 160+-car mixed, and 1 I/M) and 5 via the x-Big four to Berea (2 mixed, 1 salad shooter, 2 I/M, and 2 Auto-racks).
East of Greenwich on the Big Four side there were 5 westbounds holding: 2 freights, 2 I/M's, and 1 Auto-Rack, with several xg's blocked for extended periods.
When I got to Berea, trains were being held on the Short Line as Collinwood was plugged and as the Disp announced over the radio, there were no rested crews available to move traffic to Buffalo.
Not bad for a Sunday!
