Are you referring to D706 when you say “not sure on the CSX order”?

No, I am refering to the 2 CSX engines that were added to the rear of N800-07 to get him over the hill at Saugatuck mp CG32.5 All of the loaded coal trains need to get "pushers" added to get them over that hill. I'm saying I'm not sure at the rear of that train it has CSX #3065 + #817 or they may have been placed as #817 + #3065.

08:20, Q327 making a good size pickup at Holland, tail end of train blocking 120th and Lakewood. I’ve heard Q326 on the radio, it sounds like they are calling CSXT 4538 as the leader.
