The locomotive and about 15 cars are on the outbound interchange track at Ann Street. Are they sending the locomotive elsewhere?

The GR 2104 is now painted and ready to be transferred back from the MQT to the GR, in exchange for the current unit. My bet is that either CSX swaps them or MQT makes the move themselves.

Z151 will deliver 2104 to Wyoming. Y297 will swap the engines.

2042 is off the GRE property and a new cut of cars is in. 297 took care of it. Couldn't find MQT tonight unfortunately.

[Schteinkuh]

Keep an eye out for the GRE today. Sounds like 151 dropped off 2104 last night.

There are 8-10box cars at the Detroit Newspapers plant. That's double the number I usually see there. They appeared to all be CP 60' hi-cubes.
