I was surprised to hear him at 6:36am reporting from Ensel mp CH90, the Broadcastify on-line scanner reception was amazing this morning - he was heard nice & clear.

From the scanner archives, sounded like D705 was reporting from Trowbridge at 5:15am, couldn't make out which end though. The call had static but could hear him saying his leading engine # & train i.d.

E800-14 @ 10:05 copied his EC1 to depart the West Olive power plant with 2 CSXT engines & 2 BNSF engines & probably the usual 130 empty coal cars. It hasn't been decided yet if he'll set off the CSXT engines at Wells mp CG43.3 or at Grand Junction mp CG55.6 since both of these sidings have a loaded coal train tied down.

Q327-16 @ 10:31 westward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 384 axles & 5,389 feet. CSXT engine s #69 + #157 & 93 cars.

E800-14 @ 11:07 westward Holland Depot mp CG25.3 with CSXT engines #7010 + #530 & BNSF engines #5847 + #9078 & 130 empty coal cars. He's to set off the CSXT engines into the west end of Grand Jct Siding mp CG55.6 There's really no where for Q326 to go beyond Gross Siding since both Wells & Grand Jct have loaded coal trains tied down there.

I wondered about that. With the empty going through, I figured they’d meet 326 at Wells, but I see there is a coal train in the siding. Gonna be a long wait for 326 at Gross!

Q326 has 28 cars to set off at Waverly/Holland & he would have had E800-14 blocked from entering the Main Track at Holland from the Fremont Sub-Division while making his set offs. Heard a conversation between Q327 & Q326 at Gross and Q326 was asking if there's another train they might be waiting on & Q327 had no idea. So, Q326 had no idea as to why he wasn't getting a signal to depart Gross Siding.
Dispatch had instructed E800-14 he was to dp the coal train sitting inside Grand Jct Siding - I had thought he was just going to set off the 2 CSXT engines, especially, with Q326 being held at Gross.
