L302-13 by Howell at 18:15 with 63 cars. 4589 +3332 + 4045 on the head end. 4045 would be a good candidate to be set out in Lansing to give a second unit for L304-305 seeing it is facing the same direction as its current single unit 8315. It will give them something else to do to take it to GRP to spin it next weekend like happens so many times.

I believe CSX #4589 is Ex-Spirit of Nashville after researching this SD70 unit online. Probably repainted at this point

Bets on how long until they take it south again? L302 passed the cantilever at Green Oak at 17:41, too dark there for road numbers.
L303 passed the same location at 18:16 with only 12 cars. 62 axles per the detector but the math doesn't work out.
The pair met in Brighton, L303 took the siding.
