They have returned back downtown GR. Mission failed on the horn change.

303 slow clear off the coach lead. Some good banter with the 911 leading and 106 getting held out.

Y106 is back in Wyoming. Had four boxes, three scrap gons from beacon, and seven tanks from Alto.

Z739 is coming back onto home rails now. 4225 LHF for power.

L303 is on the move. Should be nearing fox now.

GDLK (502?) Is tied down at Vistula for the weekend. Track crews are busy at work in Bristol doing tie replacement. @ 12:47pm.

GDLK southbound to Elkhart is in the hole at Three Rivers. Has his light to move and looks like an engineer on board.

Going through white pigeon now.

Per conversations with Rouge Tower, power from today's 326 will be tomorrow's 303 power.
Sounds like a track gang is working down on the gr sub somewhere.
Lastly I don't know if the skip is just decently good today or not but I did hear somebody talking about a W001 with a 6025 somewhere.

L302 blowing for Seymour at 0115.

L302 making his way out of Grand Ledge WB now.

and yes, a lot of time is spent waiting for a change of crews....good thing that Amscam shut down the BTL crewbase Since when did they shut it down? Asked an engineer in BC when I was there Saturday. Supposedly it's been a couple years. Also it is just the engineer base not the conductor base.

Train sitting in Battle Creek right now with a pair of SD70M-2's bracketing a BC Rail blue Dash 9 pointed East. Lights are off but I believe he is waiting for X491 to head into the yard. This is as of 1702.

When is this train gonna depart?

Leaving East now as of 1715

L302 clear Seymour. CSX 4575 and 4003 is the power. Both engines facing west so either they will spin the power tomorrow morning or it will go west on 327.
