They were elephant style when I saw them, and 4264 was doing most of the work while 637 sat idling. Did this train move farther south afterwards? I didn't see, nor hear them the rest of the night, (and I have no clue if they can reverse power anywhere near port A, other than Olean), however I saw WNYP track workers Both on the way to, and from Port A, on the rails with one of the trucks. Signal problems is what I heard.
