There was the usual noon lull on 08-04-2011 when there was only MBCR to polish the rails, but then D-3 started talking to ED495 who, on the way down Da Hill, got told to set out the Fitchburgs at Willows East, which redefines East Fitchburg. Trona OldPaint 612, OldPaint 348, and NewBlue 610 got 40 east of the Ayer platform on 1 at 1240. There was a string of Ciment Quebec hoppers and, about a dozen or more cars later, another CQ hopper. Mebbe the Willows East set-outs were between the the CQ string and the CQ solo.
Meantime, the usual B&Ws had begun stirring on West Wye, getting AYMO together. At 1340, the 40.2 talker talked about no defects and the temperature to NSs 7533, 6685, and 9206 plus 17 racks and 97 tables and wells. What the talker didn't talk about was axle count or speed. At 1344, the 40.1 talker also talked about no defects and the temperature to 422, which had been holding west of Shirley for AYMO to get outta town, with also no discussion of axle count or speed.
Have the talkers been reformatted, or is this a glitch? There were no "detector malfunction" announcements for either track.
