Why, the Christmas grinch seems to have disappeared! I must assume the new CEO had something to do with this. Well done!

I’m not too familiar with crew jargain, what does DH stand for, and what does protect mean with L30226 and M32626?

Never heard of Y390, yard job?

DH = Deadhead
Protect = having a crew in place to run aforementioned train since they won't be bringing a train in to the terminal like they normally would
Y390 = 3rd shift Wyoming Yard switcher

So, the protect crew would recrew 326 and 302 somewhere along the way? Or are they on the whole way from Barr to GR and Detroit to GR?

No, they're deadheading crews to Chicago and Detroit the night before so they will be rested at their away terminals to bring M326 and L302 to Grand Rapids the following day.
