8199 was picked up last night by L302 and brought to GR. Today it's going to Detroit, to head to Cincinnati for shop stop.

The scanners are being weird today which I couldn’t report based on the amount of static and the disconnections

C800-07 @ 15:16 eastbound Division St crossing mp CG60.93 Bangor, Mi with BNSF #6124 with 130 loaded coal cars with rear BNSF #8433. He will add CSX #3243 and CSX #759 behind his leader and continue to the power plant. Unknow what siding he added his power at.

Could hear something blow its horn through Alto 5 minutes ago. Wind and cloud cover must be just right.

Anybody by chance happen to catch L303-08 departing Grand Rapids to Lansing today? Asking cause roughly around 23:35 +/-, overheard CSX dispatch talk to L304 and mentioned them with engine #8315 which I know came into GR from M326 today. Very confused as it wasn't mentioned in Andy's L303-08 reports, and with it being a 6-axle, wouldn't be confused as freight, so I don't quite know how it got to Lansing or if there's something I'm missing.
