Departure of train 216: There will be a lot of switching prior to loading since the special consist that came in last night and the consist of the regular train have to be moved around.
I had a most bazar freeze issues with the stream this morning. Starting at 9:30 am it froze, at 10:30 it came back for several seconds and froze again, this repeated at 12:30 and 1:30 pm, recorded a brief few seconds a 2:14, then when to 2:30 which is where it was when I got home which in MDT was 2:45. So nothing after the 9:30 freeze. Another interesting fact of these freezes, I had sound just not video to go with it.

Not sure what the issue was. May well have been a problem with the host company.
