| Lead oil train. NMJ |
A trio of us headed north today (Thursday 7/19/12) in search of oil...
The first half of the most recent test oil train was in NMJ when we arrived around 10am
and it was still there around 2pm when we left the area.

We watched the second half pass through
Pittsfield (same as reported on GRS Sightings List). However, it only got as far
as Detroit just down the road. The lead 2 units switched the feed mill
and then the crew ran out of time or something. We left at about 4pm
with the train held up in Detroit.
We did not hear the first oil train leave
NMJ on the scanner while we were in scanner range. We could hear the Bucksport local and NM-1 in that same general area until south of Waterville.
If we had had time, we would have chased after the BNSF power that got a Form D to head west from Waterville around 5-6pm. "C an E Extra BNSF xxxx"... No six axles east of Waterville today.
