Westbound 5264 & 980 light engines into Lansing at 22:36.

Both long hood forward. Radio chatter sounds like one needs water.

I think this was the power on the most recent Webberville grain train

I believe this was G817-01 that was spun around in GR to face eastbound since the engines are elephant style with nose end pointing east. Also heard on the scanner something needing water as well. Scanner range is bad around Lansing

02:24 - Sounds like horns on CSX. ATCS backs that up, wondering if the light power is returning east.
If I had been a little more thorough in my reading, I probably would've been out there waiting.
