MEC 7575, MEC 7541, MEC 7620 (C40-8's) and MEC 5946 (B40-8) arrive on the mainline along the south edge of East Deerfield yard with a train that appeared to be POED, despite the BNSF covered hoppers on the front. The crew was using the locomotive number on the radio so I did not hear the true identity of the train, but it contained a block of loaded center-beam lumber flats near the head end. About 20 minutes later, after I headed to Greenfield for Amtrak 54, I heard an empty grain train arrive. By that time these engines were already at the house so I suspect I missed a 2nd train after waiting over 5 hours without any freight moving.
