On the McAdam webcam - There are intermodal wells/containers sitting in the yard just beyond the radio tower from at least 12 hours prior. I didn't see how they got there.

@ 0812 - 5 SD70's, NBSR/NBSR/MNR/EMR/EMR, are EB on the south track moving a covered hopper and the 6 wells/12 containers. This is prior to todays NBSR 120. I am assuming this may be something previously held up at customs.

@ 0840 - the above consist is rolled back onto the head of today's NBSR 120.

@ the end of today's 120 were the 31 wells/62 containers that got left behind from the previous 120-8.

Will NBSR operated the CP Holiday train when it goes to SJ?

Yes, given that they own and operate the track.

NBSR 121 was by McAdam Station at 21:07 ADT with 4 SD70s, 19 loaded Herzog hoppers (presumably for the siding project further west), 28 mixed freight, 80 wells/158 containers.

NBSR 120 departed McAdam @ 07:02 ADT, 64XX EMR/64XX NBSR/64XX EMR), 48 wells, 94 containers, 72 empty wells. The 2nd intermodal car had a CSX domestic container on top. It wasn't a great view for accuracy, so actual numbers may be +/-.

I saw three fewer containers on the Greenville cam last night, same amount of wells, although similar vision issues with darkness. That lighting at McAdam sure does play tricks on your eyes. Good catch on the CSXT box, didn't notice it until this morning's train.

NBSR 121 passed McAdam Station at 20:16 ADT with 3 SD70s, 22 mixed freight, 81 wells/154 containers.

I saw a CPKC intermodal on the west coast about 2 weeks ago that had several CSX blue containers on it. Not sure if they are leased or what but I'll try to find out the story. Last I knew CSX had grounded a lot of those boxes.

Update** So this is CSX laden cargo. CSX and CPKC have a network agreement after CPKC was dropped out of EMP.

Funny too about 15 years ago or so there were some CSX intermodal shipments over to Saint John that would come in bunches via Guilford. Here's a shot with some boxes headpin. It lasted maybe a year and was spotty. I can't recall personally seeing more than 5 or so at a time (a few flatbeds came up too).

NBSR 120 departed McAdam Station at 08:28 ADT with 4 SD70s, 19 loaded chip cars, 89 mixed freight (one loaded autorack), 3 empty wells. Looked like an all CSXT pickup, minus the wells/last 10 mixed.

That accounts for the 3 empty wells dropped by 120-14.
