D700 west at Hudsonville at 0823. Sounded like CSX 5354 leading but it might be 6354.

Edit: Stops at Hartford, Coloma, New Buffalo to run around, Sawyer and Livingston. The RN told them they will need to meet an N956 somewhere this morning.

I'm standing outside shooting a house near Drenthe (64th and Adams) and I hear what appears to be a coal train heading east. It should be near Jenison in a few minutes.

At Wyoming, N956 pulling far enough east of Ivanrest to clear the crossing. The helpers cut their air in on the train and the headend power cut off and went to the house. Headend power is/was BNSF 6119 & 6388.

N956 outbound crew has brought the power back out of the house and to the west end. They should be all done with tying back on shortly. The D801 crew has been waiting onboard the helpers this whole time.

Same way yesterdays N956 was not reported going east. :lol: First thing I knew about E945 coming with CSX power (7812 was trailing behind 5105) was when Q334 went into the siding at Brighton to meet him at 23:00 last night. Q334 by the way, behind BNSF 7319 leading, was CSX 476-7577, power off the X100 well storage train. Q33522 this morning had 429+8099, repeat power from a few days ago, with 126 cars, one less car than the day before.
