CSX G126-27 clear South lyon at 10:08 with CSX 5330 leading and CSX 998 trailing.

My guess is that everything is complete in Plymouth now with them replacing the rail on the South East wye. It's shouldn't be long till L302 and L303 hopefully get moving again.

L301-31 @ 10:30 is currently building their train with CSX #4070 LHF

L301-31 @ 10:40 had Job Briefing with RN Dispatcher in Grand Rapids, MI: CSX #4070 with 47 cars (39 Loads and 8 empties) at 4,722(?) tons and 3,250(?) ft long. He is doubling up at this time. He will head westbound to Hartford mp 68.7, Coloma mp 75.8 and Sawyer mp 105.2. He will head into Holland/Waverly Yard first if M326 is on the way east.

Per Dispatcher @ 10:40 reported M326 around Kirk mp 70.2

Per Bangor Viewer Michiganrailfan_13 @ 10:40 stated in Bangor Chat, "Uncle said at the moment 1 UP engine is moving the Herzog cars around to get ready for a supposed departure for tomorrow. He said there is an NS, 2 UP’s and a CN near the Herzog cars tho so expect those to be possible power for W080. I wonder if they’ll struggle with the Saugatuck Hill and need the 2 CSX helpers. One if the conductors that he knows said they might add a 5th engine to W080 depending on how heavy it is

Currently at Webberville at 10:55 picking up 4584 + 286, power from the G804-26 grain empty on the 29th. If anybody sees 4584, take a photo and post it. This is one of the latest 4500 series rebuilds from Huntington, that as far as I know has not made the photo sites yet, not that it it's not there now.
