MoW Crew @ 15:35 shoved 12 empty Gons with an MoW Hi-Railer Truck to the east end of Gross siding mp CG61.2 that today's L301-26 will be picking up during their eastward return trip, per a conversation heard between them & L301 today. There may be another set of empty cars to be brought into Gross due to the MoW crew's driver saying 20 cars would be too much weight for the truck to handle.
