Small World - I was out at lunch today, walked right along the trail, maybe 45 minutes after you took your 3rd picture.  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.

FWIW, what looks to be today's Q032 just went by (12:00) looking like a mirror of yesterday's train (1 up front, trops, containers and trailers, and 1 on the tail end).  2 days in a row at virtually the same time.

Nice shots. I managed to snag a similar photo on Sunday around noon during a pretty busy 45 minutes stretch. 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.
