RN Dispatcher @ 17:07 was talking to someone regarding the Geometry Train being on the NS at Porter & presumed to be heading east onto the Grand Rapids sub-div. And there was some mention by the RN about crossings. Does anyone have any info about this? The radio call heard was low volume & scratchy.
17:22 EDT - Currently approaching CP 485 on track 2E, lined up to the CSX at Porter.
17:25 - Knocked down signal @ CP 483.
17:27 - Hit CP 482, crossing over to CSX. Very small train.

It appears they're testing sidings on this trip, which, they hadn't done on their westward trip thru the Grand Rapids sub on May 3rd.
