M327-14 @ 16:54 was contacted by the RN Dispatcher saying "you may proceed, the restriction has been removed & you may continue on from mp CG134.8" with CSX engines #253 + #718 + #8199 & 127 cars. He took New Buffalo Siding mp CG113.9 to tie down (he had met M326-14 there) due to his very late start out of Grand Rapids. So, this must be for the 2nd crew since the original crew was on duty at 4:30am this morning. No idea what the restriction was all about.
