I received a report from the field (confirmed visual) that L301-23 eastbound had in it’s consist a second engine between Holland and Grand Rapids Michigan. Possibly CSX engine #2768 from Waverly yard in Holland Michigan.

Thanks to Jerry M from Bangor chat for the info.

Would probably make sense since CSX #6515 was heading westbound from Ivanrest mp4.7 per scanner report, earlier around 12pm. M326 brought a 3rd engine, CSX #4036.
