Edit: On Monday, CSX 4077 was seen with 31 cars of rail down in Plymouth.

CSX has a rail train dumping rail in various spots between Plymouth and Grand Ledge today. Don’t know symbol or power. Been OD since 8:00 when yo mama made me pancakes.

E800-27 @ 10:23 westward Holland Depot mp CG25.3 with BNSF engines #6027 + #5688 & CSXT engines #16 + #7010 & 115 empty coal cars. Interesting they had put the CSXT engines behind the BNSF engines.

E803? Although his empties are still sitting under I-96, far north of the Plymouth diamond

Also something (presumably D735) has a green signal passed 12 mile heading north, expecting him soon

Edit: D735 with CSXT #5356 + #138 clear 12 mile road NB @21:01

I heard it blow at 7 Mile and then Baseline (8 Mile) about the time of your post. Sounded heavy, wouldn't be surprised if it was another N803. Wait, saw your update - was 735.

Today's coal empties were likely another E803 from a different day.
