Hello,
Tonight's SLQ eastbound 394 arrived in Island Pond at 1940 with the following:
RM-1 806
GP40-3 3806
GP40 3004
15 centerbeam flats
1 covered hopper
2 hi-sided gondola
13 boxcars
15 tank cars
That's 46 cars total, including 38 loads and 8 empties.
To add to the recent westbound load of Hancock Lumber, today's train had a couple of interesting new cars:
1) An eastbound load of Forex Oriented Strandboard (OSB) - I've never seen one of these before. Actually I don't think I've seen any loads of OSB before eastbound or westbound, and
2) An empty CSX boxcar presumably headed back to the paper mills in Maine. I guess this is a sign of the future now that CSX owns Pan Am.
Have a great night,
Fritz
