Couldn't find his full job briefing, so, no idea what the 3rd engine was. I'm guessing it may have been the same 3rd engine that L302 had brought into Grand Rapids & maybe they wanted it spun around?

L302 took one of the two L304+305 units to GRP to get them back to back finally after running long end first for the last ten days. G817-03 grain load from Webberville went east after midnight last night, with 582 + 4575 on the head end. Even though I was at the window to see this one, after missing the empty go west, special thanks to GP75745 for what would have been the lead unit on the empty as I still could not read the number when it passed by. This was one of the lastest rebuild units from Huntington in YN3c paint. Have yet to even see a photo of this unit since it was repaited.
