Q326-07 @ 10:37:23 eastward Bangor's Division St crossing mp CG60.93 with CSXT engines #7206 + #30 & 70 cars. He has work for Holland.
As Q326 was approaching Wyoming Yard, they notified Rouge Tower that their second unit (CW44AC #30) has a failing trip optimizer and non functioning dynamic brakes and couldn’t lead, so I expect this power set will be wyed before Q327 leaves tomorrow.
