Notable Events:
34A had the 1068 [ERIE] heritage unit on the point. MOW blacktopping Third St crossing (CP-Center). About 1345 the 20K called a restricting at 71 signal which was caused by an obstruction. It was cleared quickly.
A problem with the computer on the M4G was not allowing the crew to log on. There was confusion with the symbol
in that the consist was built for the M4G, but the crew picked up the train as 14G. { RailScan Index }
