C800-27 @ 19:45 called Dispatcher saying they had an alarm for wheel slippage on the rear DPU engine & a #4 alarm "Locked Wheel Detected". They're calling the Mechanical Dept for help.

Not a burned out and seized motor I hope... They should be able to disable it though...

Empty grain train G792-24 went to Grand Ledge overnight. By Howell at 23:07. Did not see the train or get an axel count to see how many locomotives or cars were on the train, but CSX 153 was the leader. Perhaps someone could get more info off the scanner feed at Grand Ledge.
