Busy tonight on the Illinois Division

[TRNBUF]

As of 8:30 p.m.(02/25/07),  2 Eastbound NS #112's were following each other through Centralia, IL.  Then as that was happening, NS #111 was pulling into the Shattuc siding West of Centralia with NS #167 pulling in behind him.  I heard the crew on NS #111 say to the dipatcher that he had NS #69G tied in with his train as well.   He also mentioned that he had 5 locomotives, 3 running and 2 isolated, 71 loads, 33 empties and was 6643 ft long.  Normally these trains come through Centralia mid-afternoon.  Anyone know why they were running so late?
