M327's on duty time is usually 4:30am

Currently no job briefing for M327. Sitting near the yard at the Mobile gas station and no train movement. I do see some cars lined up just before the little building in the middle of the yard.

That is about as much information I can give regarding M327.

Got some chatter for m327 contacting Rouge tower. They were asking about an EOT on the train. Rouge. Told him that they already have the EOT in place for them. Also just heard a horn sounded from the yard.
