Assuming this is R597-02 or R598-02 with BNSF #6300 + 130 empty coal cars and rear BNSF Exe #9758 dpu. Waiting on EC1 to depart from West Olive.

M326-02 @ 8:20 has finished tying down his train and is done for the day.

L303-02 has not been heard of at this time. CSX #406 and CSX #7788 are their engines.

19:33 CT: P370 by Michigan City, 2 minutes early
Amtrak P370-02 @ 21:38 eastward reported at East End Kirk mp 70.2 with IDTX engine #4628 & 2 SuperLiners.

L303-02 has not been heard of at this time. CSX #406 and CSX #7788 are their engines.

R597-02? has not been heard of at this time. They should have BNSF #6300 + CSX #3468 + CSX #7005 (unknown order) + 130 empty coal cars and rear BNSF Exe #9758 DPU.

Amtrak P370-02 @ 21:49:00 eastward on the Bangor Live Cam mp 60.35 with 2 passengers off at the station and a conductor WAVE!

L303-02 is likely to run eastward around midnight then

Amtrak P370-02 @ 22:09 eastward reported by DD 44.2 at 12 axles: IDTX engine #4628 & 2 SuperLiners.

Assuming an "E Crew" will take that empty coal train westbound overnight and an "R Crew" will take that loaded C800 coal train eastbound with the CSX #3468 and CSX #7005.

L302-01 @ 14:40 westward reported by the DD mp CH126.3 Clarksville, Mi with 512 axles. CSX engines #406 + #7788 & 125 cars.

Yesterday’s L302-01 didn’t arrive into the yard until 3:30pm ish. Delaying L303-02 by hours later. I didn’t hear any calls on L303-02. Assumed they ran overnight to morning. They’ve ran overnight before 2am to 6am.

Corresponds to BL2-1843’s post, L303-02
probably departed the yard around 5am? Unsure of the travel time from GR to DET

L303-02 had conducted their job briefing with the Dispatcher last night between 22:30/23:00 hours. They had copied their EC1 at mp CG2.0 @ 00:05

L303-02 @ 02:05am eastward reported by the DD mp CH104.3 Mulliken, Mi with 308 axles. CSX engines #7788 + #406 & 74 cars (36 loads + 38 empties). He had work in Lansing.

BL2-1843: they must have gotten CSX #7788's cab heater repaired. Also, what's the typical travel time between Lansing & Detroit, assuming all goes well?
