Just wanted to give a heads up for tonight or tomorrow that CSX repainted a B30-7 into Chessie System #8272 that as of 8:00PM is sitting by itself at the east end of Willard Ohio CSX Yard. It's suppose to go out on CSX eastbound Q382. This freight 8272 is going to be on heads east out of Willard to Greenwich onto the CSX Greenwich Subdivision which heads to Berea. From Berea the train goes up towards the east end of Rockport yard area and curves east through Parma over the trestle north of Valley View Ohio and heads north to Collinwood. From Collinwood will head east on the CSX Erie West Sub through Willoughby, Mentor, Painesville, Ashtabula, Conneaut, Erie, Etc. At this time from the North East PA, I don't know if they will drop the unit off along the way or take it to Buffalo and bring it back west to the museum that way. But I wanted to give a heads up. If you want to keep track of this unit, click the link - https://www.heritageunits.com/...tive/Detail/CSXT8272

Still showing in Willard. I actually want to go out to catch her on the curve in Greenwich. Everyone and their brother will be packed into Berea.

Johnny, I found out today that 8272 will stay in Willard till this monday the 22nd because I guess Willard is having B&O days and they want to have the unit there tomorrow. But I guess it might go out late on monday and there's talk it will come through east of Cleveland after dark on monday.

Update this morning on 8272, is Chessie 8272 is sitting in Erie PA CSX Yard office at 8:34AM but the comment on Heritage Units site is, "Sitting by yard office Not a good spot for photos unless granted permission onto CSX property" But that's the update. As for 8272 when he came through NEO east of Cleveland after 9:30PM Monday May 22nd. It wasn't updated till 6:11PM in Grafton, so I passed on seeing him as it would be dark by the time I would have saw him.
