CSX claims "no crews" to run K831 west, but will run it the long way and use 4 crews instead.
They must save money by not certifying crews for enough areas... enough to get away with running a train a state or two out of way.

16:40, unusual time for horns in Zeeland. I am certain it is D702 here to pick up the covered hopper that has been ready to go (and accruing demurrage?, probably not if they released it when they were done unloading) for the past week from Vanden Bosch feeds. There’s also an empty centerbeam for pickup at Zeeland Lumber.

Good timing by GLC, After delaying K831 for 40 minutes when going south, they got back to Ann Pere just in time to delay D705 for 15 minutes. D705 by Howell at 7:07pm with yet one more change of power out of Detroit. Today, 5458+366 on the head end. Both units facing forward, with 109 cars.

When k831 was there, im sorry in advance but were you out there like the 90s like where are my 40s lol, I'd you heard rl they were talking to the conductor of glc since he's a ex csx engineer, holding up a pretty hot train he says describe hot, later on in the conversation he said herbs got some red rockets.
