Q326-03 @ 06:42 eastward heard reporting from Republic with either BN or CN #3838 leading. (I'll have to look thru the Timetable for where Republic is)

Q326-03 @ 06:45 eastward heard reporting "East 2 clear Kline, Approach Medium, Pine". Incredible range for the Broadcastify scanners this morning :)
Republic is one of the IHB diamonds on the Barr Sub, between East Chicago and Cal Tower. Cline Ave is between Cal Tower and Pine.

Cool, 537 and 578 are the first of what are supposed to be around 50 older CSX units that Peaker is equipping with DPU.

From the DD39.1 report, he has 96 cars with those 4 engines. Any idea if they'll be setting off any of those engines in Lansing, or, will all 4 engines go to Grand Rapids?

The dispatcher said “gimme a call when you’re ready for your EC-1.” No mention of Ensel Yard, but that’s not a firm indicator either way.
