B523-07 North by Romulus at 1221am:
CSX 491 AC4400CW
CSX 837 ES44AC
63 Mixed

Bringing their train to a controlled stop short of Wayne to look at the 10th car from the head end, when they went by New Boston TDSI reported their 10th car was throwing sparks.

Edit:
The 5th car back ended up being the problem, the cut lever came off on one end, got chewed up by the wheels and is hanging out over the rail. Car department is en route. They ended up stopped at Ecorse road and it’ll be awhile.

What’s up with the coal traffic, usually it’s a daily train. It looks like one train was brought to the Consumer’s plant in West Olive on Saturday night and there’s only been one since?
