Happened to be down in Indiana this past weekend and had a loaded and empty coal with BNSF cars roll past. Loaded was Saturday and empties were Sunday night. Any idea what he symbol is for those off the BNSF and how often they are getting them? Also where are these interchanged at? I know they were ...

C800 going by 488 now with a BNSF 8493 leading and 9263 on the rear.

BNSF C-BTMCXC/NAMCXC (Coal Loads for West Olive) 05/17/24 @ 17:43:00 CDT heading east passing Galesburg, IL cam with BNSF #5762 + 130 coal loads + rear BNSF #8755 DPU. BNSF #6841 was removed before reaching Chicago.

L303 sliding down the hill at Fox EB.

327 getting close to New Richmond. 1982 has a beautiful K5LA in the morning air.
Also skip is so good on the scanner this morning. Heard a dispatcher talking to train on the Willard Sub that got a hot box at Holgate.

M327 is on the move. Called clear Grandville about 0632. Did not hear leader.

0640 edit: 1982 confirmed leading. Called clear DeWitt.

L302 picked up 2 in Lansing. Unknown setout. Looks like they are climbing aboard in a minute to head west.

1959 edit: Looks like they are now making the pick up from the siding after a setout.

L302 OS Trowbridge 1906.

GRE EB with 12 or 13 hoppers, mostly BNSF, @ 10:00 over the Grand River.

Sounds like he is returning WB @ 1141 through the north side of GR.

You are correct. Moving more cars around the yard now.

Sounds like they are headed back out. Long day for them today. No visual unfortunately.
