An NS Grain Train came through Dowagiac heading to Cargill in Decatur around 3pm today. One of the two “Power” units is the Lehigh Valley heritage unit. Here is a picture of it right after it pulled onto the Cargill spur.

10E-19E are empty autorack extras. Origination and destination do not apply to the first three digits of the train symbol in this case.

Exclude 18E from that list, that's always West Lake to Princeton. Was 218 until a few weeks ago
The dispatcher is cool.

Got a 19E out of Toledo for Sterling Yard tonight.

10E, 12E-17E, 19E are as-needed, system-wide empty rack trains.
