W424-17 @ 18:27 westward reported by the DD mp CG91.9 with 158 axles & 1,813 feet long. CSX engine #309 & 38 loaded rail cars.
Approaching Waverly yard Holland MI @ 18:38

You’ve got crew riding on top of the rail cars.

A majority of the rail cars still have patched over B&O reporting marks that are very faded but can still be made out.
