At 11:40 M427 by the Littleton detector, 538 axles.

At 14:00 M426-22 tied down with all engines off at Westford. CSXT 488,465,471. When I returned from my walk about one hour later, engines were running, I don't think there was a crew onboard yet.

The 11:40 M427 noted above was onto the B&A at 20:44 last night. Sounds like they made a drop of 22 at Ayer, as they passed Springfield Union Station at 22:36 with 470/7252/5287 and 108 cars. They did not make an additional stop at W. Springfield.

Looks like there was no M426-23.

A lot of activity on the Stony this morning.

At about 10:00 M426 CSXT 478 left Ayer yard. They had PTC issues which involved a lot of conversation between train, B+E, CSX D2, and CSX chief. Finally on the move but again needed permission into foreman's track WL to 312.

At about 10:45 Littleton detector had a high load hit on M426, 642 total axles.

M427 CSXT 467, ? , 470 was once again at Graniteville, so they helped 426 by doing a "roll by" via radio confirming everything looked good.

At about 11:00 B+E gave M427 at Graniteville a Line 4 once again for 312 to WL.
They were then given yard instructions for Ayer , and were told they would be held up by equipment coming up the Worcester Line (rail grinder?)
