It's still there, from what I can tell from the scanner archives & rewind on the Bangor cam. Wondering if today they'll get a D job to get him.

D801-31 @ 16:05 westward Holland Depot mp CG25.3 with BNSF engines #9181 + #8558 & CSXT engines #3167 + #3440 & 130(?) empty coal cars. He’s setting off the empty coal train in Grand Jct Siding mp CG55.6 & then is going to Wells mp CG43.3 to DP the N801-29.

Tom thanks for updating ! So 801-29 will be going to West Olive later then with the crew that’s bringing the DPUs to Wells ?

You're welcome & yes that's the plan: D801-crew is to bring the N801-29 to West Olive. D801 had reported from mp CG33 at 4:27 pm & will go over the DD at mp CG44.2 before going into Grand Junction to set off the empty coal train.

What has me confused is, why have they changed the way they used to do things by having the CSXT engines as the 1st & 2nd engines ahead of the 2 BNSF engines. Instead, they have been lately placing the 2 CSXT engines behind the BNSF engines which makes it harder & slower to set off the empty coal & get the CSX engines on the move to DP a loaded coal train.

Q326-31 is stopped at mp CG20.4 with the crew's time expiring. He has CSXT engines #5406 + #969 & it had sounded like they may have cancelled picking up any cars from Waverly due to some issues. If that's the case, he would still have 77 cars. The N801-29 crew will be taxied to there to re-crew him.

D801-31 is stopped due to PTC issues in the Saugatuck area between mp CG32 & CG33.
