What will the MSRR use as power for the coal heading to storage? Wouldn’t think two geeps would do the job but who knows.

2 Geeps is more than enough for an empty coal train. The empty 130 car trains out of West Olive barely weigh 2800 tons, so this train is even less than that. They could even use 1 Geep if they had to.

Interesting... two BNSF units, one green and creme, then a good 50 or so empty intermodal flats, then empty coal cars behind that on this westbound train.

I believe those are some (all?) of the empty TOFC cars that were stored in Hudsonville. They might be needed on BNSF, so they just stuck them on a coal train. The coal trains also go right past CSX's intermodal facility at 59th St in Chicago, so its possible they might drop them off there, too.

As of 19:27 Q327 has not departed Grand Rapids due to numerous on-board PTC issues.

I was wondering about that. They've been sitting at Ivanrest for 30 minutes, and still don't have a medium-clear indication through Grandville.
