I believe X383 terminates at CSX Stanley Yard in Toledo like M383. The power might come back on 382 within the next 24 hours.

533, CN 2633, is okay on the west track from Nolan to Milwaukee Jct. They will heading back to Port Huron later as lite engine.

383 terminates at Lang Yard in Toledo. The train is switched out and becomes Z247 to Walbridge yard and returns. 382 does the same at Lang before departing

391 tonight was lite power out of Toledo. 2679 2441

BNSF 9213 led a 5 engine empty coal west through East Lansing at 15:41. Not sure if this was 765 from Durand or 767

Yep, that train was 765. Hard to believe that 766/767 stopped running 3 years ago.

I thought they had stopped running in April 2014. But now that you mention it, it may have been more recent. Not sure why I thought 2014 :oops:
