M326-30 @ 14:32:39 eastward Division Street crossing Bangor, Mi crossing mp CG60.93 cam with BNSF engine #5526 + CSX engine #9002 & 91 cars. The 2nd car is an 8 axle type car with a transformer.

L303-30 @ 14:38 is apparently having issues with his tonnage & is backing to the east end of Fox either to get a better running start or to set off some cars (?) He had stalled out on the Thornapple Hill mp CH137.8

It took them 15 minutes to go from the middle of Fox (roughly CH 143) to Thornapple (basically CH 140). No idea what the issue was, at that point most of the train was over the first hill and they would be descending into the river valley.

He had reported T.O. had him down to 14mph at the start of the hill & then dropped to 9mph and took too long to reach Notch 8, released its control to the engineer. At that time, the rear of the train was still at the bottom. His headend was stopped at mp CH137.8 They are backing up their train to get a running start for the hill. When they were building their train this morning, they had to remove 2 cars due to tonnage concerns (appears more cars should have been removed). He had left Grand Rapids with 55 cars (49 loads + 6 empties).

L303-30 @ 15:20 eastward reported from Alto mp CH134.35

L303-30 @ 15:43 eastward reported by the DD mp CH126.3 Clarksville, Mi with 226 axles. CSX engine #932 & 55 cars (49 loads + 6 empties).

L305-30...4228 was trailing 8199 today, replacing 8619.
When 4228 was brought west on L302-28, it was facing east, I presume it was facing west on L305 this afternoon, as 8199 faces east. Explains why they took it to Grand Rapids. Is 8619 still at Ensel? I was able to get some great footage of it yesterday.
Per a video my friend sent me, 4228 was facing west, they must've wyed it in GR. Here is a photo of 8619 yesterday, just before it was swapped out.
