M327-07 @ 09:21 westward reported by the DD mp CG91.9 St Joseph, Mi with 300 axles & 4,359 feet long. CSX engines #867 + #5427 & 72 cars (9 loads + 63 empties).

L302-06 @ 09:22 westward reported from the west end of Fox mp CH143.3 with CSX engines #5209 + #5406 + #4014 + #6965 & 46 cars.

L302-06 @ 09:49 called Rouge for yarding instructions & mentioned they have the CSXT #6965 with them, wondering why they keep moving that engine back & forth on L303 & L302?? Hoping to hear what the other engine he also has in tow.

L303-07 is supposed to be on duty at 11:30 & supposedly will be taking the 4 engines L302 had.

Heads up Detroit rail fans I 150 just cleared Fostoria with 204 units of intermodal that's gotta be around 14.000ft if not longer BNSF GEs up front two of them. (Units meaning individual well cars) And also this morning about 09:00 there was a 180 car empty grain train not sure if it's for LSRC or somewhere on the Plymouth Sub that had 4 units up front including a SD70MAC so definitely with 4 units im assuming they combined two 90 car trains together.

Is it possible that they are pulling a much larger train today that requires 4 engines for L303?

Note: L302-06 did not run last night, but, did run this morning.
Reason for that was, the power they were supposed to have, 5460+3165 from Fridays L303-05 got used on another train and the crew had to wait for L303-06 power to get to Detroit and the crew on it to tie up so they could use this set. Regarding 4014 that went to GRP from Lansing on L30206 this morning, it has been facing the wrong way to work with 4228 ever since it's been on that job. Crew has been trying to get it back to back for the last two weeks so they dont have to run long hood forward with each other when going east. Not that it will today either. Never did hear what happened to 8199 that was assigned to Lansing for awhile.
