Has the westbound signal indication out of siding at the WE Fox as of 00:05 on ATCS.

Looks like there's another westbound lined up behind it that's still east of Elmdale.

An 8000 foot train is clearing East end South Lyon. Too fuzzy to tell, most likely X801?

That was it. CSX 272+5317+267 for power with 144 cars. There was a four unit light engine move going east afterward. Couldn't make out the train number and was going to fast to get the locomotive numbers, except CSX 485 I believe was the last one.
