E800? empty coal train building in J.H. Campbell 21:13 BNSF 8570 leading

The BNSF #8570 had ran with the BNSF #6287 as a rear dpu & it was the #6287 that had lost half of its power causing the C800-26 to stall out on the hill at Benton Harbor last night. BNSF engines #5989 & #9185 should also be there in the plant & are at this time being used as the "pusher power" for the loaded coal trains & will probably tag along on the very rear of the empty coal train being built to be set off at either Wells mp CG41.5 or Grand Jct siding mp CG54.

Update: this may have been L305-28. At 15:00 heard Rouge saying the signal was for them "to head back home".
