08:46 CT: M327 by Michigan City

That's impossible that in 40mins it can be by Michigan city from mp91.9, as it takes approximately 20 minutes to get to Lakeside from mp91.9

It is very routine for freights to take 40-50 minutes to get from DD91.9 to Michigan City, MP 126. Lakeside is about halfway so that makes sense.

As of 10:08 CT, what I presume to be M326 is heading east by Michigan City

Any clue on what CSX 8887 & 4044 plans are? And I’m wondering if CSX 4059 & 8181 will leave on L303, or tommorows M327

We'll find out on Monday if they are going to use them on 301. That would be my best guess

Alright. I was wondering why they’d bring in two SD40’s, and I’ll keep an eye out.

During earlier talk between L303 & Rouge Tower, he had mentioned they will have a 3rd engine but didn't say which one. They are not happy where the engines & cars are placed & have been doing a lot of shuffling around to get to what they need for their train.

[SD80MAC]

The SD40s could be for L301, or L304/305 in Lansing, or a combination of both. Or they’ll go to Chicago or Detroit. Wait and see.
