Trailing unit I could not read the number for that had 3002 leading, when it went west Friday evening was CSX 990. W86827 still on its way.

Does that mean his time in lansing will be much shorter than usual?

It would depend on how many cars he has to pick up - and that info wasn't heard on the scanner. But, I'm guessing it would be shorter than usual, since, he's not setting off cars & picking up cars. They weren't reporting locations as usual on the radio, too. I had to rely on the DD reports & I had heard only 1 EC1 being closed out when he was at mp CH125.5
