Interesting Consist Discussion for the North Side

Yesterday the 4 car set had the control changed, it now has the 1800 leading. So this set has Loco-8xx-5xx-Bomb-1800.

As of this morning, the 4 car set has the 1810 against the engine (which was 1006 I think...could be off by a digit though), same two flats and the 1800 leading.

Someone told me yesterday the 1006 had K Car 930 behind the loco and 1631 trailing and that consist was apparently assembled yesterday. Did they already break that set up?

The four car set with 1810 and 1800 has the 1005 and came in on 64.

The 1631 is on a five car set with the 930 behind an unidentified screamer. It came in on 114 I think.

The 1801 is on a seven car set with the 1070 for power and was on 314. It was signed for Newburyport as of when I boarded 213.

The 010 is now paired with the HEP-only 1124 pulling a 5-car flat set. It operated on 351/352 this morning.

1124 has been coupled in front of Geep 1118 the past two weeks now on the north side.

You can add the 1122/1139 to the mix as well...

I saw 3247 pushing caboose C-1 and one of the ex-Amtrak boxcars inbound on the Fitchburg Line at the Park St crossing in Somerville around 1:45PM today

And we have doubleheaded screamers now also. 1012 leading 1002.

The 1002 was just recently revived from being dead for some time.

Saw that here on Monday.

Just saw a yellow "Model 6700" (or was it 5700?) sell propelled something or other heading towards Boston crossing South Street at Rbts Station a minute ago. Looked like a small crane of some kind

The GEO train was inbound approaching the single main at Salem around 1:49pm, running behind 172 & observed from 169.

3247, a flat car, and the caboose west through Lawrence at 12:25.

Doubleheader: 1008+1013 seen arriving North Station on Friday evening pushing a 5f set.

There's a Geep double-header roaming the northside as of Wednesday morning. I was too far away to see unit numbers, but it left North Station shortly after 7:00 am this morning.
