Summarizing my scanner and LRV tracking last night:
23:30 511 instructed to hold at Waterloo Public Square for CN freight.
23:37 Control tells 511 they're "cancelling the freight route" due to a "hiccup".
23:42 511 instructed to proceed, 11:25 behind schedule, and do a "quick turnaround" at Conestoga (the operator walked from one end to the other and immediately departed to maintain the schedule).
~00:00 Control sends someone to check the derail and high/wide sensors in uptown.
00:30 504 instructed to hold at Waterloo Public Square for a second attempt by CN.
00:43 Control asks 504 if they have eyes on CN, and the operator says no. At this point 507 is also holding at Allen, but southbound service on the spur line has ended for the night.
00:50 504 finally authorized to proceed, 20 minutes behind schedule. 507 was released a few minutes later.
00:56 504 asks Control about catching up to the freight train, and whether to dwell at R&T. Control instructs them to "pass at 20km/h". Again, I may have misinterpreted this part due to people talking at home, which is unfortunate since it's a critical detail.
