Around 8:30, friend believed to have seen an empty grainer with 2 CSX leaders. Possibly destined for Grand Ledge after they recently had a loaded one depart yesterday I think.

L302-02 @ 08:15 copied his EC1 at mp CH82.4 for Ensel/Lake Odessa for his Lansing work with CSX engines #5294 + #5491(?) leading.

L302-02 had four units going by Howell this morning at 07:28 with 130 cars including a bunch more stone loads on the rear. In additon to 5294 + 5491 returning from Wednesday's L303-02, they also had 5440 +3087 returning from Tuesday's L303-01

I think the fourth unit may have been #3067. Got that leading with #5440 trailing on L303-01 a couple days ago.

L301-03 @ 10:26 heard talking to Rouge Tower

L302-02 @ 10:29 westbound reported at Airport mp 92(?) with CSX #5294 leading. Scanner very static this morning

M326-03 was mentioned by Tower at 10:58 and they are at Sawyer

L301-03 @ 11:02 reported at Grandville and heading westbound. CSX #8096 leading

[BL2-1843]

What I see, what I write down and what I report are often time three different things. 3067, not 3087 was indeed the 4th unit on L302. Thats what I saw, what I wrote down but not what I reported. Had this problem when it went by on Tuesday as well.

CSX E803 w BNSF 9796/BNSF 6170 has departed Wixom. BNSF 9796 does not have PTC but is leading.

L302 had four units when it went by BL2. They could have picked up a fifth unit in Ensel as they were swapping out one of them there
