BNSF 6380, CSXT 3209 & CSXT 3289 on the rear.

No Bell on the leader which is interesting

L302-24 by Howell at 17:30 with 83 cars. 725 + 3044 on the head end. I see 8199 got replaced by 2428 on L305 instead of 4070. 2428 now paired with 4070. 8199 is a sister to 2428, as it is the former 8177.

An empty E80321 is currently sitting under I-96 with no power. This will likely be one of, if not the last coal train to see the rails of the Saginaw sub

Updating on this post. Still no power, however there is a second cut of coal cars sitting in the southwest section of the yard in Wixom, MI. unsure what will happen with it. I'm also not sure if the consumers energy plant has anymore empty cuts. If anyone has any knowledge on plans for acquiring power to take these cuts back to Cicero, please let me know.
