D706-11@ 2:27pm eastward received their EC1 to depart Grand Rapids. CSXT engines #29 + #8887 & 14 cars (2 loaded + 12 empty). They have set offs for Lansing.
Slow Clear at Plaster Creek @ 2:30pm mp CGT 2.0
No pick ups?
Dispatch did ask D706-11 if they also had any pick ups from Lansing & the crew said "no". They also did not say how many set offs they have.
Cool! Maybe I will be able to get a shot of them in daylight!

D803-10 @ 3:07pm westward copied their EC1 to depart West Olive mp CGP 1.0 with CSXT engines #989 + #586 & BNSF engines #6149 + #6337 & 129 empty coal cars. The CSXT engines will be cut away at the west end of Wells CG43.3 to DP the N800-10 that's tied down inside there. Sounds like there may be an "E" crew heading there to take over the empty coal train.
