Looks like Saturday will be a busy one, 4 coaches added to the consist for tomorrow, so a double-header for sure.

Looks like they put them on then shoved the whole mess back south. Would guess 463 will be the road locomotive.

Here's today's video

216 heads out a 7 car consist behind #489

215 returns, also a 7 car consist behind 487. After turning the wye, 487 picked up 4 coaches from the South yard, added to the 7 that came in on 215 and shoved the lot back beyond the access road, so unless they change something we'll have an 11 car double-header for the penultimate Saturday of the season.
