G803 was correct but not calling signals with the date of the train, so was out of luck myself too, in that regard.

G80318, currently in Plymouth as of 5am, supposedly on duty now.

This evening in Plymouth.
1. 17:10 southbound CSX road local train L314 from flint with a Yn2 ac44 leading one of the new LSRC SD70Ms
2. 17:25 finally after over 12 hours of sitting in the lilley road siding CSX G803 departs south right on the heels of L314 with a gevo leading a CSX SD70MAC
3. 17:45 southbound CSX B522 with CSX 500 spirit of Grafton leading the Dearborn special south for Middletown Ohio running very late.
4. 18:15 northbound CSX loaded coal train C803 with a BNSF SD70ACE leading a H2 dash 9. May wanna catch these as much as you can this year. Rumor has it that essexville will be shutting down their coal powerplant
Also L302 and L303 must have snuck by in between all of that traffic. This had to be busiest I've seen Plymouth in quite sometime. It's been months since I've seen it this busy. I'm here almost everyday as well. Maybe I don't see it. I don't know. But a very busy evening in Plymouth
