If this is a light engine power move, probably some of the EIGHT units that came into GRP on Q38515 overnight.
Theae weren't heritage units were they?

X78618 light power by Howell at 1345. CSX 4073+307+7718+5412. This would have been the first four units leading Q38515 this morning leaving behind the other four. The trailing unit on 385, 4054 will probably be used on GRP yard and local trains while the other three will more than likely go out on Q327 this afternoon or on Q384 tonight. If that is the case and the power not turned, CSX 960 would lead Q327 and CSX 426 would lead Q384.

E800 is currently going through Riverside. Sounds like BNSF 8480 leading.
