Don’t get too excited, guys. Those J900 trains are just Grand Rapids crews being used to recrew trains on the B&OCT in Chicago. I guess they just recently changed the crew districts on the B&O (North Baltimore instead of Garret?) and nothing is making it.

Came here to say this. Crews out of Williard are dying, tying up trains. They are recrewing trains using crews from all over to finish jobs.

This doesn’t mean we have three extra trains, 40k tonnage in Chicago or anything crazy like that.

BTW, CG 131.3 is "Doran," not "Loran." :)
