N800-25 @ 07:37am eastward reported by DD mp CG91.9 with 536 axles & 7,053 feet long. BNSF engine #8525 + 1 & 131 loaded coal cars.
Sounds like D801 was supposed to meet N800 at Grand Junction around 9:30am, but they are now heading light to Wyoming yard to swap out an engine. Apparently one of the two units is dead.

I had heard the CSXT #579 leading, it may be issues with the CSXT #989.

Interesting that they are going to Wyoming instead of West Olive for a power swap. Since csx closed the Wyoming engine house and fewer trains go there, it’s not like there is any extra “big” power sitting around waiting to be called up. Maybe they’ll grab a bunch of Geeps like the old days 😝

08:45, D801 east clear zeeland, CSXT 579 and 989, lite power.

In other news around town, two empty centerbeams are at Zeeland Lumber. One covered hopper at Plastcore. The shiny monopole for the new cell tower went up this week by N Elm, fortunately it’s further back from the tracks than I thought it might be.
