Y106 clear Snow Rd. Looks like an AC4400 is your power today versus an EMD. Nice change of pace.

***power is CSXT 286 and 131… weird seeing a pair of GE’s on the local

No D706 today due to lack of crew.

D708 returned to Ensel at 5:45 PM. Worked Asahi Kasei and GLC interchange.

Bob - those two CPs from the potash train were sent back. The Anderson’s won’t be done emptying that train until the end of this week. It will be pulled using a pair of CSX units when the time comes.

18:49 CDT: Train going by me in Michigan City. No visual, but I'm thinking he's eastbound by the horn, and Q327 should have passed through some time ago. So perhaps Q326?
