D706 east by Fox 13:13.

D706-17 @ 14:06 eastward reported by DD mp CH126.3 with 192 axles. CSX engines #5419 + #5307 & 45 cars. He has 15 cars to set off in Lansing.

You might have sharper hearing but I am curious. Is it #5419 leading? I know that one has been through lately but as has #5459 which was paired with #5307 when they last went as D705 on Monday. I thought to have heard #5459 on radio just after listening to CH126.3 read off but not too sure.

Yeppers, you are correct, it's the #5459 leading. Thank you I've gone back & edited.

11:30, sounds like Y121 is switching Zeeland.

They brought one BNSF covered hopper to Vanden Bosch feed elevator, and two centerbeams to Zeeland Lumber. I may have missed one, but these are the first lumber loads I’ve seen at this normally busy customer in about 2 months.
