WB grain Empty G804-14 is on train in Plymouth. From what I could understand on the scanner as I’m listening for Q116 is that there is some issue at Webberville (maybe a switch?) so the crew has to take the train to Williamston siding.

Power is CSX 7027/CSX 7221

04:14 CT: There’s a train passing Michigan City now. Based on a lack of posts about empties, and a hard working rear end DPU, I’m gonna guess it’s eastbound loads.

Train went by Howell at 02:54 with 88 cars and were running with DPU on the rear. First time I have seen that on a grain empty, but perhaps it was put this way intentionally by the crew at Plymouth. Train did not stop at Williamston and went on to Lansing, or Trowbridge. (unless it went to Grand Ledge)

Grand Elk is currently waiting for their signal at Pleasant St to run the transfer to Wyoming Yard. WAMX 4225 is back in action and is the power for the train today.

G804-14 went by Howell at 02:54 this morning with 88 cars. 7027 on the head end and 7221 running DPU. First time I have seen that on a grain empty. It was perhaps put together this way in Plymouth before departing due to issues at Webberville. Train did not stop at Williamston and went to Lansing or at least Trowbridge, unless it wound up going to Grand Ledge.
