GRE crew on duty. The rest of the mini unit train for King showed up overnight so it looks like they're going to Lowell :wink: . Couldn't see the number behind the building of the unit pushing 371 this morning.

335 getting a recrew, per Dok and Jon. Train is 7400+ feet long, emergency stop due to an airhose problem on the fourth car from the rear. Well, that must have been a long walk...

There's a D00708 down at Kirk right now... From what Jon let me know, could be a railtrain... There was a D00607 that ended in Michigan City last night, so I'd assume this is the same train.

Tim, your BNSF 6178 and BNSF 6189 are on D80208.
