First off, thank you Steve, for helping us make sense of these reports.
Also, as he points out, the chess game deployment of locos make it evident
that power is tight.

Here's the report for Friday, Sept 15:

TC-100: Running late like the previous day

NY-100: scheduled dp HF 1400, so cod 1415 means we're running at least 90"
late. 3629 needs fuel because straight 45 w 4000 gal tank. "5 hf" are for BX
and RC, although I don't see RC-98 (or any other BX trains, for that matter)
on the list, perhaps annulled since it's Friday?

SFE-100: approx. 1 hr AOS with unusual E8 trio, p/u 5 at Akron, at least
some are MW hy-cubes int from PC

2/NY-100: will change power at HF

PB-100/NYCB: combined and running late like the prev day, but since w/e
arrival doesn't matter as much. Will trade the F for a pair of GP35's at HF

PN-98: similar power trade

PO-98: carries an HF block today bec following MF-74 is all BX

WB parade:

TC-99: OT and to p/u 7 auto parts at Leavittsburg. Since BX-orig parts cars
wd have been p/u at HF, these cars must have come off 1st dist, where from,
Steve?

BM-7: from BX, evidently reclass at HF

NY-99: OT w big pig

SLCB: running late, behind 99 like prev day, but w/e arrival makes this less
critical. Fairly decent train today, probably some carload fill.

NE-97: junk train today, 10 hr behind schedule and operating via 1st
District. Another smoking gun that yesterday's sheet was indeed Thurs 14 bec
the power was on NE-97 at PO that afternoon. Due to a derailment in the WB
class yard at HF, the 22 HF cars on the rear of 97 were taken off by the JU
(Sharon-Ferrona) switcher and will p/u 9 GN's at Brier Hill inc 3 H&W

SC-99: running thru to GN today w 117 GN cars. Lead U25B is offline;
"steering wheel" designation was mentioned yest by SMT and is ironic for
steel wheel equipment. 2508 has "DOT defects" but not mentioned if it will
be cutout at HF.

PB-99: OT and works at HF

CX-99: OT at V w big 69 car train and nice breakdown of consist: 12 "GN"
with vans for Detroit and Lexington KY hubs will actually be s/o at the old
GSA facility just east of GN; 4 cars for St Louis int to N&W at Huntington
IN for train MS-15; 8 cars for TX (mostly Dallas) via MoPac steel-wheel int,
and balance 51st St ground.

NY-97: just one unit? Makes approx. 1 hpt. I assume 2nd unit b/o and s/o
enroute and add 3667 at HF. Microblocked incl 1 Y'town, 1 Ashland, 2 Akron
(probably mt hy-cubes for PC) and 7 Hammonds (Steve am I reading this
correctly?). Add GN fill at HF

BM-9: obviously op via River Line bec p/u units at UK. 80 cars out of BX
preblocked 2 Belts, 42 GN, 36 Lima

NE-97: at PO with 119 cars incl only 8 loads, blocked 73 Lima, 28 GN, 11
Hunt and 2 Hammond

Po-87: Dp PO at 1145
