Tom, are they saying Tie work on the radio? I went out there yesterday and found the curve rail gang, not a tie gang. Didn’t see ties staged anywhere, either. Perhaps the dispatcher is just confused as well.

If there is in fact a tie gang, I wanna find it! Lol

West Olive empties south at Riley St. Holland 5:55 PM. CSXT and BNSF power on head end.
