X327-04 @ 22:27 Grand Rapids, Mi mark up with the RN Dispatcher: CSX engine #3383 & 91(?) cars (33 loads + 58? empties). He’s building his train. His engine is the solo engine that had ran on today’s G090-01 empty grain train. His radio call had waves of static, Dispatcher had complained, too.

Could hear 33 for the loaded cars, empty car total is questionable, tonnage & length was all static. He has Auto-racks in his consist, there was a 5 pack articulated Auto-Rack reported to be on L302-01 having six axles each (30 total axles) that would be counted as being 1 car(??) by CSX - assumed to be an empty.
