d801 will leave the mt's in grand junction with the bnsf power , then go to riverside, via benton harbor
and reverse move back onto the loads at riverside and get them ready to move to the plant, rn didn't
say if the d job will take the loads to the plant or will cab back to west olive
there is a crew called on duty soon, but rn didn't say if they were for the loads at riverside or the empiteies
at grand junction
D801-11 @ 10:09am westward passing by the Holland Depot mp CG25.3 There was a change in plans at 09:59am, he is to take his entire train to Riverside for an "E crew" that will meet him to take the empty coal train from there near N. Shore Drive. The CSXT engines will be cut away to DP the N800-09 that has been tied down there since April 9th. It appears the D801-11 crew is running low on time & another "D job" will eventually move it out. D801-11 has CSXT engines #989 + #586 & BNSF engines #6308 + #9097 & 130 empty coal cars.

D801-11 @ 10:53am westward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 w/ 544 axles & 7,065 ft. CSXT engines #989 + #586 & BNSF engines #6308 + #9097 & 130 empty coal cars.
Yet another change in plans, he's to now go to Paw Paw mp CG85 with his train since it'll be 2 hours before the "E crew" will be there. He's still to take the CSXT engines to DP the N800-09 tied down in Riverside.

Q326-12 will be going into the west end of Gross Siding mp CG63.1 to clear up for D801 - Main to Siding at 11:10am.

Are they setting off at Waverly today? D702 is ahead of them working Zeeland at 13:00, sounds like a setoff at Z Lumber based on whistles I hear from home.

Heard D702 talking to Q326 asking them to avoid a couple of tracks (forgot which ones) in waverly & asking Q326 to use Track #2 for their 5 cars set off. I had heard Dispatch earlier telling Q326 to use #2 Track in Waverly for their set offs.

@ 1:08pm, D702 told Dispatch the switch & de-rail for the M&J lead was lined and locked Normal & ready to head east for the run around at Grandville.

"Clear EE Brighton... a nice town... D705 out" at 16:56
Clear WE Brighton at 16:57.
I think they called CH 49 at 17:01, lots of static.

D70812 parked 61 cars for GLC on the main at Howell and then picked up 46 cars left in the passing siding over the weekend, only moments before GLC went south. They took their pick up to Brighton to run around it and came back west thru the siding with D705 following. Third time in only a matter of days that D705 had fresh power out of Detroit. I think this is the first time that has happened since D705 was put on.

That’s what I thought. Q509 and Q568 are our southbound manifests unless something just changed.
