supposedly it was on the 25R last night. Perhaps someone here can verify that information.

Watch for 211..never made it on that 25R.

Thanks for the info. 21M is sometimes a noon time train through Bound Brook, should be nicely lighted west of Macungie, etc.

21M is in Easton already according to Lehigh line dispatcher.1068 is still at croxton according to Several reports. Look for 211 to be the train with 1068 on it.

Where??

Raritan, NJ at 1pm

As of 15:10 the Lehigh Line gave 211 permission to Alburtis. It sounds like 19G's one locomotive has excessive flat spots and is now a 10mph train, and is also in front of 211 somewhere between Bowers and Lyons. H68 is on Main 2 apparently somewhere so 212 can't run opposing main from AlburtiS to Blandon. Fun times on the Reading Line!

Update, just pulled to a stop in Bowers, rolled through Topton at 15:30. The 19G must really be creeping along ahead of the 211.

And make a late run on the Lurgan Line.....:<(

Fun times on the Lurgan too......NS 203 followed 11R south.....11R got to go into Hagerstown....203 had to wait on 2 NBs/EBs and its 4:30PM.

Something was going on at CP50 (Chambersburg) too....11R was talked by and 202 sat (don't know for how long). NS 290 was behind him.

H34 (or K80) with 33 cars is tied down in Greencastle too.
