Unfortunately, the bowling ball signals are now gone: https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,5831412,5831412#msg-5831412

ZLAMQ, ZLAAI, ZLAMN, taking hits. Couldn't have happened at a worse time since it was a busy evening train wise. Crews on the MEPLA, MEWWC, MFWWC stuck east of there last night with crews going DOL while waiting on a parade of eb trains coming out of Tucson.

That one had a lot more marine containers than the ones I noted in 2025. Thanks for the i.d. mapboy |
