I just missed 23G leaving GE Appliance Park Yard this afternoon. I caught it going up Buechel Hill and managed to almost get caught back up to it at Hurstbourne Lane but a few cars kept me from crossing the street in time to get photos of the lead units.

At least these intermodals have a dpu now.

First photo crossing Hurstbourne Lane between mp 285 and 286.

Second photo is at the West end of the Tucker siding.

Photo #1 - 61A Tucker Siding 23G Main
Photo #2 - 055 Tucker Main 61A still in the siding. 61A conductor was out so I did not photo a meet. I usually don't shoot photos with employees visible but with no option here I took a photo.

704 passes a still parked 61A which had been in the siding for about 90 minutes by now. 61A left pretty fast once 704 cleared the switch.
