Caught that train with #159/271 at 9:15 AM in Richmond Hill, it went past New Hyde Park at 9:57 AM. It went back westbound at 2:19 PM this afternoon with 36 mix cars.

RS70/RS71 was seen today in New Hyde Park with #159 and #159, at 10:15 AM this morning right before Train #6607 RS70 went westbound and this afternoon at 2:55 PM RS71 headed eastbound after train #8054 and right before 7710

RS40 went through Mineola with 159 and 271 in the rain yesterday, 11 cars.

NYA's 300 & 155 at Northport in the siding east of the station with five loaded center beam flatcars for Kleet Lumber in Huntington today, around 12:30pm.

2 MP15AC's with cars for Paraco were in AH siding yesterday afternoon, and seemed *very* tied up - not idling, powered down. First thing this morning Paraco was unloading LPG.

Anyone know the story here? Did the train spend the night in AH siding?

Where is AH siding?

AH is the Block Limit Station Near RverHead on the mainline(to Greenport)

AH is Calverton, by Edwards Ave crossing.

AH = bAiting Hollow, which was the original name of the town.

GP38-2's #261 and 268 seen last night at Posillico picking up empty stone cars at about 7:20 PM. Probably were going to pick loads from Coastal but I couldn't stick around.

261/268/159 left Coastal westbound with 29 loads of C&D about 8:45 PM last night. Coastal's tracks were pretty much emptied out except for what looked like two empties in the darkness. Funny thing I saw the outbound cars to CSX at 6:45 AM this morning and in addition to cov. hoppers and boxcars there was a long string of loaded C & D cars. Hmm...

Four locomotives to Yaphank! Great consist, especially with the CIT leaser!

How big was the train that was out there to bring back west to Fresh Pond?
