Caught one the other day with 169 cars. Same day as the video I posted here. That train had five units for power but two were cut off at Abrams. Here's a pic of that train. That 39G also had a wheel bearing or brake smoking when it went by. Hope you and family are well!!

MOW has been very active on both tracks between Abram's yard and the Flat Rock Tunnel last few weeks. I would guess they had main 1 tied up.

With the traffic volume lighter than in Conrail days between Reading and Abrams, I was almost wondering if this line would be single-tracked.
