One of the DL owners or dispatchers might add something here, but the typical 
schedule is Tuesday through Friday for the 26-car trains.  The longer trains, 
52 cars, tend to show up on weekends.

The former-Indiana Hi-Rail C420 334 has been painted in a Lehigh Valley-like 
red and yellow and has been sent to Mt. Pocono to be the mill switcher, to 
marshall the loads and empties for the road job and for the mill.

Since Scranton is the end of a 1500-mile run for the grain cars, there's 
seldom any way to predict when the trains will hit Taylor Yard.  The DL 
itself generally gets just a day or two's firm notice.  If ya got a scanner, 
listen in.

Monday is typically the no-grain-train day, so don't go up there that day.
