If you can confirm the power through Brighton, please do.
L302-30 west thru EE Brighton, two six axle locomotives? Try five! Engines 66, 461, 8619, 140, and 7228 all leading 55 cars. The latter three weren't running and 140 has seen better days. I presume 8619 will take 8017's place as L305 power, however both 8199 and 8619 are facing west.
18:08 - L302 calling clear for CH 49.
Wow! A 5 lead CSX freight. Have not seen that before

I'm hearing something on the scanner that I assume is the L304 crew at Ensel, but have not heard any numbers

As I surmised back on May 24 when G126-19 went west with 713+5397 leading, with a train number like that, figured it was going to Newaygo on MQT. Got shot down on that, but see now that it did with its 87 car train and now running as G125-26 with the power from Webberville that L302 picked up on Sunday. The three extra units on L302 yesterday, 140+7228 will go for the grain train at Webberville now being loaded, and 8619 to replace 8017 on L304/305.

L301-31 @ 10:58 westward reported by the DD mp CG19.1 with "axle count malfunction" (repeated twice) & then reported 18 axles & 205 feet long. He'll be working inside Waverly today for a job that wasn't filled (Y121-31?). From his job briefing earlier: CSX engine #4384 & 12 cars (8 loads + 4 empties) @ 1,146 tons & 751 feet long. The DD19.1 should have reported 54 axles.
