3096 ran west and east on a grain train about ten days ago. It was with 5211 at that time. Both units were up front then, but 5211 does have DPU, so it still could be with the train but on the rear.

6560 did not get set off at Lansing on L303-29. Perhaps leader CSX 11 will get set off at Plymouth for the one unit grain empty that was reported as being in Plymouth. L305 picked up of 10 of those larger ZVBX cars at Ogihara today but don't know if they were loaded, or they just did not belong there and are being returned.
