Radio call from the DD was heard on the Broadcastify CSX West Michigan scanner nice & clear. Another radio call had cut off the last digit for the train's length. Also, assuming these are the engine numbers & no idea what the 3rd 6 axle engine is.

Could this be some other train out there this time of evening?

Track department has the rope fire burning thing on the rails right in town in Lake O. Broken rail maybe?

Two cars appear affected, but both are upright. It appears they wrecked while shoving into Buzzi Cement.

D700 sure seems to have the worst luck. I remember a few years ago they derailed in Sawyer and fouled the main, resulting in a cancelled P371. They’ve had crossing incidents, broken down, died… probably no worse than other trains, but it seems like it.
