L303-26 @ 11:51 Grand Rapids, Mi job briefing with the RN Dispatcher: CSX engine #3022 (solo) & 79 cars (32 loads + 47 empties) @ 5,611 tons & 4,408 feet long. He’s ready to depart & has work for Lansing.
Were the two additional engines as mentioned previously left in the yard?
It had turned out L302-25 had arrived with just CSX engine #3022, he didn't have any additional power as I had originally thought. On Sunday, Sept 25th, L302-24 had arrived Grand Rapids with CSX engines #7034 + #7038 & L303-25 had left Grand Rapids running with the CSX #7038 solo. The CSX #7034 is still in Grand Rapids & not known what the plans are for it.
