L302-29 @ 22:54 westward reported by the DD mp CH104.3 Mulliken, Mi with 496 axles & 7,629 feet long. CSX engines #7222 + #5437 & 121 cars.
He must have also set off the CSX engine #4014 in Lansing, too, since the axle math doesn't workout for having 3 six axle type engines.

L302-29 @ 23:34 westward reported by DD mp CH126.3 Clarksville, Mi with 496 axles.

Thanks for the good reports as usual.
Think a yard job will come down and get L301 later on?

Hi, you're welcome :) I'll be listening for any jobs that may be picking up L301 from Saugatuck. I haven't heard any mention of a crew yet to pick up L301.

M327-30 @ 09:23 heard talking to Rouge to start building their train in the Grand Rapids Terminal. Today, he'll be running with CSX engines #3429 + #376.

M327-30 @ 09:30 made their job briefing, aside from the engine info, all other details were stepped on by another radio call.
