Saw one of the Geeps (I think 102 - it was late, ha) headed west through Fairfield Metro around 1:30am Saturday with a string of ballast cars. Anyone know if those were the ones from the end of the Waterbury branch that seem to sit there in perpetuity?

The siding track near Devon, is were P&W leaves loaded ballast cars and picks up empties for Tilcon to be loaded.
MN's PMMO switcher is usually the switcher picking up the cars for Highbridge MofW and leaving empties.

#102 was at MO today, yesterday morning at 11:45 AM in Greystone BL14CG #402 was towing 6 new M8 cars from Harmon, 4 S cars and two replacement cars for a pair. The two cars are replacements for cars wrecked in Bridgeport, those cars are the same ones which I saw on CSX X386 on Sunday November 23.
