There are 3 center beams in Oak Yard loaded with ties, swamp mats or something like that.

Also there, the usual corn syrup tank cars. There are also a box car and scrap metal car.

At 21:25, BNSF 9238 is leading D801-24 eastbound at Grand Junction. 532 axles, 6989 feet at 44.2 DD.

P370 has 20 axles, 367 feet at 66.2 DD.

21:52 - Y223 with CSXT 2721 leading is opening up the Dock track in Holland.

As of 22:45, Q327 is having issues with their lead engine. Sounds like they have a CSXT leading and 3 UP units.
Sounds like they might throw on a BNSF 6614 and CSXT 814? since this CSXT leader is having issues.
