Thanks Sharon. It would be interesting to know what the two-car 'Special' was all about.

The 484 has returned with the 2 coaches it took out this morning and it has also picked up to empty hoppers that were used for ballast. If I have the information correct, those hoppers came from the East Broad Top in Pennsylvania.
