W028-09 (rail train) from the Deshler scanner archives: between 06:37/07:07am he was reported by the DD60.3 with 142 axles. CSX engine #8062 (solo) & 34 cars.

At 07:07am the Dispatcher had contacted them saying they will either tie down in Garrett or in Barr Yard. He was too far out of the scanner's range to hear what the decision was.

L301-10 @ 10:44 Grand Rapids, Mi mark up with the RN Dispatcher: CSX engine #2428 (solo) & 26 cars (23 loads + 3 empties) @ 3,035 tons & 1,555 feet long. He’ll head westward for work at Buzzi Cement mp CG5.2 & then he’ll go into Waverly mp CG22.8 & later westward to Hartford mp CG68.7 & possibly Coloma mp CG76.7 & to Sawyer mp CG105.2 His 2nd engine, CSX #8199, is having electrical issues & will need to go to the shops.

Y121-10 @ 10:59 westward Pass Track to Main Track, Holland, Mi Depot mp CG25.3 with CSX engine #2686 & 6 empty Gons. It appears he’s headed to Saugatuck mp CG32.1 to runaround his train & then head back eastward for work at Coastal Containers mp CG27 (there haven't been any recent deliveries to there that I'm aware of - maybe just running around his train at Saugatuck). On his way back eastward, he may be working the Dock Track.
