E800-01 @ 20:02 westward reported by the DD mp CG91.9 with 536 axles. BNSF engine #9163 & 131 empty coal cars & rear dpu BNSF engine #5628.

R597-02 @ 20:53 with CSX engine #3387 & assuming the CSX #3300 is still paired up with #3387 talking to the RN Dispatcher. Radio message was broken up & it's not known if R597 is originating in Grand Rapids or West Olive & assuming they will eventually go to Wells siding mp CG41.4 to move C800-01 loaded coal train.

L301-02 eastward update: nothing further has been heard, he was to tie down with CSX engine #4070 & 22 cars between Kirk mp CG70.2 & Riverside mp CG80.1 The Dispatcher had asked if Coloma mp CG75.8 could be an option, if not, then it would have to be Kirk. Nothing was heard on the scanners what the outcome was. Gross Siding mp CG63.1 wasn't an option since it has 21 cars loaded with ties tied down in there.

L302-02 had told Rouge he has 3 engines & all of them need to be spun & the 3rd unit is to go back to Lansing. So, it's either CSX engine #8199 or #8619, will know on Saturday, June 3rd when L303-03 does his job briefing. I'm guessing it's the #8619 that L302-28 had set off in Lansing on 5/28/2023 & needed to be spun.

CSX #2428 went to Detroit on 5/29/2023

CSX #4055 went to Detroit on 5/24/2023

CSX #8181 went to Detroit on 3/06/2023

L303-03 @ 11:18 Grand Rapids, Mi job briefing with the RN Dispatcher: CSX engines #3414 + #3285 + #8619 & 73 cars (34 loads + 39 empties) @ 5,755 tons & 4,472 feet long. He’s building his train & has work for Lansing to only set off the CSX #8619. Conductor appears to have made an error by saying their 3rd engine is the #8614.
