G076-03 (grain train) between 23:42/00:12 Grand Ledge, Mi mark up with the RN Dispatcher: CSX engines #5387 + #776 & 90 loaded cars @ 13,000 tons & 5,436 feet long. Dispatcher advised he could work only on the siding track until L304 has his EC1 changed to west end Grand Ledge/Lake Odessa.

This is only partially correct. There is no EC1 from Ensel to Grand Ledge Holdout anymore. Since the new signals came online, the EC1 territory is from WAS East End Lake Odessa to EAS Grand Ledge Holdout. The siding at Grand Ledge is no longer controlled by the RN. All that is needed to work in there is permission to open the switches off the main line or permission to open the derail at the industry.
