M326-30 @ 11:52 eastward reported by the DD mp CG19.1 Zeeland, Mi with 328 axles. CSX engines #5485 + #454 & 79 cars.

For those interested, CSX #454 is a Spirit of Magnolia unit. Found this on Google Images to the closest resolution to see the lettering

L301-30 @ 16:50 eastward reported by the DD mp CG91.9 St Joseph, Mi with 72 axles. CSX engines #4059 + #4044 & 15 cars.

16:59 - G802 reported northbound out of Walbridge, likely headed to Grand Ledge.

Hoping this one has DPU too, they seem reluctant on Grand Ledge trains, perhaps they can't run the engine thru the loader?
At Webberville they have to break the train up anyway, so they can take the DPU out then, compared to Grand Ledge where I expect crews to leave the train intact.

At ADM Grand Ledge, the CSX crew will run around the train and then shove it back into the plant. From there, ADM employees will add their own Remote Control box to the lead unit and move the train that way.

They do not have their own switcher at Grand Ledge, unlike Webberville.
