I get a view of the traffic from my office and noted that single leader / DPU train. In fact, that setup (1 or 2 leaders, hauling Tropicana cars and various containers and trailers, with a rear DPU) is a common sight around noontime. Now I know it's Q032.

First, an un-identified freight (905 in lead) stopped at Vine on 2-track. Within minutes Q032 (3443 leading, 3208 rear DPU) passed it on 1-track, and was immediately followed by another mixed freight which also got a stop at Vine. When I left, both were sitting side by side and neither had a signal to proceed east into the tunnel.
