Another overnight grain empty went west by Howell at 03:00. G804-14 was the train name with CSX 307 leading. Didn't see the trailing unit. Crew put the train in the Williamston siding and cut the mid siding crossing. Sounded like they took the power back to Webberville and called it a night. Last I knew there was a load there ready to go several days ago with no power for it. Perhaps this is it.

East siders, keep an eye out for L302 the next few days. One of SRI's new coaches that they purchased from the Adirondack Scenic should be in the consist.

Should be running with those engines but in reverse order. They were doing their job briefing at 3:40pm but I have to wait for it to become available in the archives around 4:12pm to hear it - other scanners I had running at the same time had calls happening & by the time I had them muted I had missed L303's mark up.
