I am curious about L302 and how many engines they’ll bring in.

Based on the reports given in CSX Feb 2023 Updates, the grain train(s) had 4x units: CSX 4015 + CSX 22, and CSX 3209 + CSX 3289, that moved the grain train around or was a part of around Grand Ledge area

Based on the reports given in CSX Feb 2023 Updates, the grain train(s) had 4x units...

When G802-21 arrived at Grand Ledge on Sunday, they had only two engines, CSX 4015 and 22.
The other engines you are referring to were on G804-24 which arrived at Webberville yesterday evening.

23:33 - Sounds like G801 will head east once L302 clears. They are lined at EE Trowbridge and apparently Howell too.
23:34 - DD at CH 104 reports 140 axles. L302 calling CH 105 shortly after.

01:15 - L304 discussing this morning's work with dispatch.
01:19 - G801 eastbound thru Trowbridge, no visual. Would've been nice to see if they kept G802-21's power on there too.
There is another G802 in Plymouth, no date suffix or power mentioned.
