My notes are in the car but it arrived about 1445 and sat over three hours for q034 , detour 711eb mty NJ trash that used to route much shorter on NS, then 2 EB detours q380 w/ 2 UP units and Q386 with only two units....this train had to get helpers in Balto...then they finally let it go west. q380 sup to be 122 cars q386 143 cars have not added up my notes yet, got dark too soon. The E-W detour trains on CSX and NS much more interesting in the cars and traffic they carry than the normal mostly N-S stuff here. No more to add, hoping the Giants beat the Cowboys; hate Texas since I had to live there 50 years ago, but the trains there then were neat.

I caught it moving north in South Jersey at Woodbury, Gloucester City, and Pennsauken Sunday morning.
