The white ones, are the ones used for ties, they have a reporting mark that starts with an H something like HZTX or something similar. McAdam normally takes the TTX cars as well as the CSX and WRWK ones. The lumber, siding, and wallboard customers on Irving use the IANR, AOK, BR, and TR ones.

Interestingly, the green BR ones are former MMA and I think its the blue WRWK cars which are former BAR. Some of them you can see the original numbers and the BAR reporting marks on the trucks and frame. I am not sure how many are left, but they are in the low 873xxx series and pop up every now and again.

Does anyone know what happened to the MEC stenciled center beams Pan Am had? I haven't seen one in a few years. I know Enfield was using them for a while, but its been a few years since I saw one last.

At 10:33 M426 CSXT 485 by Littleton detector 618 axles.

Earlier discussion with D1/2 about checking whether cars on trk 2 Graniteville that were taken off the end of derailed M427 were at east or west end. I would guess next M427 may be going to pick these up.

M427 was picking up the cars at Graniteville around noontime. They gave D2 new train info about 14:30, were told "ok on signal indication." At 16:36 D2 said something about "waiting on the B+E"
