D802-02 @ 2:02pm westward with the above power. Empty coal train will go into Grand Junction siding mp CG53.9 & the CSXT engines will be cut away to DP the N801-02 that was tied down in Wells Siding mp CG41.4 yesterday.
Change in plans - he will hold the main with the empty coal train at the west end of Wells mp CG43.3 & cut away the CSXT engines & DP the N801-02.
