E801-02 @ 06:29:14 westward Bangor’s Center St crossing mp CG60.35 cam with BNSF engine #5207 & 130 empty coal cars & rear dpu BNSF engine #9351.

In his job briefing from West Olive, he had said on the rear of his train he has BNSF engine #9351, CN engine #5647, UP #6421 & CSX engine #718 & that all of the non-BNSF engines were to be set off in Wells siding mp CG41.5 There was no mention of CSX engine #253 that is normally paired up with the CSX #718 & since there's no DD site before Wells siding, we have no axle count to verify.

Yesterday, CSX engines #253 + #718 & the CN & UP engines were brought to Grand Junction by R597-02 after having picked up the CN & UP engines from Grand Rapids & went to Grand Junction Siding mp CG54 to pick up a loaded coal train. It was thought to be heard the CN & UP engines were to go back to Chicago on the next empty coal train. So, the mystery is: why did the UP + CN engines return back from West Olive and set off into Wells Siding & what happened to CSX engine #253? Could be, that was the very last engine in his job briefing radio call & that part of the conversation had broke off.
