West Olive empties south at Riley St. Holland 4:22 PM. 2 CSX, 2 BNSF units head end.
He's running as D802-05 with CSX engines #3443 + #3315 and is inside Wells siding as of 6pm to drop off the empty coal train & then cut away the CSX engines & parked them inside Grand Junction siding. The BNSF engines are most likely the #5845 + #5846 that we haven't seen return by Bangor yet. They were on yesterday's N801-03. A crew for the empty coal train is called for 8pm.

Heard 327 blowing for Ivanrest a couple times as they stacked up this morning. Clearly a big train. There was no doubt something was amiss when that knuckle went. You would’ve thought Le Grand Castle dropped their roof.
