Re: Train 3 @ LaPlata
No problem. The article just happened to show up in my news feed today. I was unaware of Saturday’s “fun” until the article. It’s a camera I occasionally watch.

Re: #2 to #22 connection in SAS
I've always wondered but forget to ask.
What is the difference between 22 and 422? I know it's the same train, but I don't know why they have 2 designations.
