Z151-12 sitting at the East End of Wyoming 10:38

[GP30M4216]

11:25, L301 with unit 421 leading getting permission through work limits near Lamar to head west. Crew says they have a high-wide transformer load three cars back from the head end today. M327 ready to go behind them, I believe.

M327-12 @ 11:30 was advised they will be re-crewed in Grand Rapids & they're continuing with building their train. Sounds like they have spun the CSXT #261 + #3038 due to the #261 having a bad radio. The new engine order may be: CSX engines #3038 + #261 + #6965 + #2044. The present crew will be taxied to Chicago.

L301-12 @ 11:56 westward reported by the DD mp CG19.1 with ?? axles & 862 feet long. CSX engine #421 & ?? cars. He’s headed into Waverly/Holland. He has a Hi-Wide Transformer load & not sure if it’s on a 6 or 8 axle car. The axle count got stepped on by another radio call - he's headed into Waverly/Holland.
