M326-25 @ 13:56 eastward reported by the DD mp CG19.1 Zeeland, Mi with 252 axles. CSX engine #5281 & 60 cars & rear dpu CSX engine #7267.

L303-25 @ 14:00 eastward reported by the DD mp CH126.3 Clarksville, Mi with 234 axles. CSX engine #7038 (solo) & 57 cars (this is 4 more cars than what his job briefing had said). He has work in Lansing.

C801-24 @ 14:36 eastward reported by the DD mp CG91.9 with 528 axles. BNSF engine #5989 & 129 loaded coal cars & rear dpu BNSF engine #9185.

L303-25 @ 14:42 eastward reported by the DD mp CH104.3 Mulliken, Mi with 234 axles.
What happened to 7034?
The #7034 is still in Grand Rapids. No reason was heard as to why it was being left behind. The CSXT #4228 was in tow on this morning's M327-25 and last night's L302-24 had brought the CSXT #4014 in tow from Lansing to Grand Rapids. CSXT engines #4228 + #4014 were used on the Lansing based L304 & L305 & yesterday's L303-24 had set off the CSXT #5500 (Spirit of Cincinnati) in Lansing.
So I would presume that 5500 would be on L304 or L305

Correct, and if I remember correctly, L304-26 would actually be on duty later tonight (do they have an 11:00pm start time?).
