I miss Q159 @10:14 CSX 4812
H795-19 heads north he had derailed the night before in the west setoff
Acording to Steve O
"Yep, H795 reported they miscounted their consist... thought they had 48
cars and in reality they had 53 cars. They backed them into the west
setoff which holds roughly 49 cars, smacked the derail and you can
figure out the rest. A quick call to CR and the "cavalry is on the way".

Willars wanted to know how many units he had and what direction they were facing as they were looking for power for some trains.... all facing the wrong direction CSX 8014 only one set up for leading.
13:04 Q296

Well Matt had called and said those AC's hadnt left yet that he knew of so it being all screwed up in Fostoria I head north to Wauseon At Bloomdale Q110 blows through town CSX 5263 leading
As I get into Toledo Matt calls again and still hasnt heard the AC's leave yet so there is hope for me yet.
I head west from Toledo and hear the IORY talking in Delta so I head north of Delta and find this unit

I look south and another unit is heading towards me .... This could get interesting
