10:00 - W00310 Inspection train with CSX 5222+9669 is sitting at Turner Street crossing waiting to enter into Ensel Yard.
ADBF/JAIL 1760/1758 just entered Ensel w one CSX coil car. There’s at least one CSX coil car for RSDC-Holt in Ensel for them today.
UPDATE: 10:06, CSXT 5222 is uncoupled and entering Ensel. I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume then that the third 6-axle engine this morning west of Lansing was 5500 as it’s been here for three months.
If you look at my post right above yours, you will see the third unit on D705 was 8016

14:08: Q326 is arriving Holland, will work the setout off the main at Waverly. Meanwhile, D801 was on duty at 13:00, and will be bringing empties south from the plant. My educated guess is that they’ll take the empties to Wells, then head down to Grand Junction to collect the loads there.
D702 is currently working Buzzi Unicem in Grandville. 6 hoppers going in, assuming the same amount coming out. 6414 is your motor.

Thanks for the report, Tom. I didn't realize you get all your information by listening to the scanner.
Hopefully they get a run south tomorrow, if they aren't tied up for the weekend.
