EDPO waits in the Woods
Title:  EDPO waits in the Woods
Description:  In an unusual move the dispatcher brought EDPO out of the siding at CPF-307 but only as far as the automatic signal at MP 304. Ahead at CPF-303 is 6 miles of double track so I'm not sure they brought the train out of the siding for only 3 miles.
