I just figured that someone writing a news article about the route would know the difference.

I am in North America for a couple of weeks. I‘m already fielding the expected barrage of „what are you doing over there, and when are you back?“ calls, but I get to see my US-based family and friends little enough as it is. Every now and then, I put the real world on hold. Nobody can be everywhere at once, and I stopped trying long ago.

there is one train eastbound (644) coming into Lancaster at the moment.

We have seen maintenance units moving on the corridor already, but that's all so far.
