D802 (?) just brought the empties down from West Olive - they did stop for a few minutes at Riley St. before heading on down...

EDIT 5:36 PM: Just heard from the Tower that outbound crew has been called - will meet them down at Wells...

X500 today had one AC4400CW, a few NS cars, and one covered hopper. The rest was autoracks, and it wasn't very long.

Does anyone know if the rail train will make it back to West Michigan or around the Chicago area???
You sure the geeps are still sitting there? could have sworn I saw those two engine numbers on Q32616 this morning trailing behind the two lead motors going to Wyoming yard in GR.
They were still there at 0630 this morning on my way to chicago and they show still there on the sheet. So I don't know if they went east or not..
