Yup, they're on the ground... sounds like main should still be clear for 370.

370 will take that CSXT 783 back to the yard after discharging passengers in GRP.

Sure did. Getting ready to depart GRR with 519 leading.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
