This is E801-22 @ 11:07am westward reported from mp CG30 with CSX engines #989 + #597 & an empty coal train to go into Grand Junction siding mp CG53.9 The crew had advised their cab driver to meet them at Grand Junction & then for the cab to go to St Joseph. Don't know the reason why, nothing was heard in the scanner archives for an overnight coal train that may have tied down up there.

Along with BNSF units 9215 & 6040. I didn’t hear much of the conversation, but I thought they may have been talking about leaving the two CSX units at GJ.

The train is now approaching Wells.

At 11:38am, ​hearing the Halcon cab driver calling to E801-22, so this may not be a "D" I thought I was hearing. If so, yes, appears the plan would be for him to drop off the 2 CSX pushers at Grand Junction.

E801-22 @ 2:58pm is on the move again from Benton Harbor with BNSF engines #9215 + #6040 & 130 empty coal cars. Don't know if this is a new crew since they had their taxi company meet them there after dropping of the 2 CSX pusher engines inside Grand Junction siding. At Benton Harbor, crew was heard telling the Dispatcher they were loading NS & BNSF info into their PTC.

C001-23 @ 3:05pm westward reported from mp CH114 with CSXT engine #4010 leading. I still don't know what this train is. The DD at mp CH104.3 earlier had reported him with 20 axles & the #4010 is a 6 axle type engine making the axle math work out for 2 six axle engines with 2 cars. He had gone to Sunfield with permission to operate the switch there.
C001-23 @ 3:16pm westward reported from mp CH120.4 - he is also be doing work at the e/e of Lake Odessa. I was told this is a Herzog Ballast train.
