Is O998 with the 1501 leaving Battle Creek today?
Don’t have eyes on it, sorry OB
It's alright but thanks anyway. Out plowing fields near Penn and didn't know if I missed it.

Herzog ballast train w CN/CN/CN by 205 at 7:53 AM
This ballast train symbol is O(letter)490 turned down the Holly sub today. It is most likely spreading ballast north of Pontiac as it hasn’t been seen thru Pontiac yet.
Parked in Pontiac Yard. Power taken off of train.
