L302-10 @ 23:39 westward reported by the Defect Detector mp CH126.3 Clarksville, Mi with 328 axles. CSX engines #160 + #754 & 79 cars. He had work in Lansing. His engine's horn has failed & will have to stop & flag each crossing. They're hoping to make it to Fox mp CH141.8 & there is talk about L304's crew being a re-crew for L302. His 2nd engine, CSX #754, is tagged as a "trail only engine" & now both of his engine's, from the conversation heard, are "trail only".

There are 4 engines available in Grand Rapids from Friday's M326-08 & Saturday's M326-09 they could re-arrange with L302's engines.
