L542 by 205 at 1124 with cn 5447 and up 8776. 274? Stopped at cory and 712 having trouble getting into delta siding for frozen switches. There's a structure fire at Nixon and billwood and 712 is blocking the tankers from getting to their fill site so it sounds like the theyre gonna stop traffic for a few. I get the feeling 5447 was the only one online. The tail end was moving pretty slow by the time it passed.

From what I can tell its a generic symbol for moves in the area. Mostly I've seen it used when the local power from lansing runs traffic to battle creek and back. I've also see it when something that stops to work lansing has to get a fresh crew. This morning it was the local power tied onto a up engine that I assume brought racks. I'm not hip to why the train couldn't run with its normal symbol.
