CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023

[pudgy]

Lasts nights B235-19 potash train had their cars spotted into the ADM plant in Webberville at 02:01 with switches and derailed restored to normal position with only 30 minutes left to work. Somewhere all the line they lost a car as there were now 84 cars (as reported) instead of 85 as I watched numerous times going around the N.W wye at Deshler nearly a week ago.

Believe one car was bad ordered in Walbridge either inbound or outbound inspection.

B235 originally had CP 8945 and UP 8180, they were pulled at Walbridge I had thought.
Somewhere, somebody mentioned the train those engines went out on. Would somebody please remind me of its symbol?
Thanks in advance.
