Busy afternoon on the Saginaw Sub in Romulus today
1. CSX southbound steel train B522 running late with a sharp CSX rebuilt AC44 leading at 12:15
2. CSX southbound empty coal train E803 with a BNSF GEVO leading a BNSF SD70ACE at 12:36
3. Northbound CSX mixed freight train M510? with a pair of CSX GEs powering the train at 13:04
4. Southbound CSX stack train I151 with an all foreign power lashup as a BNSF GE unit leads a NS AC44C6M at 13:43.
Looks like CSX is pretty power short as well. Next train should be CSX I150 as it was through fostoria at 11:37

West Olive empties south at Riley St. Holland 5:34 PM.
R599-04 @ 17:56 westward entire train cleared the Holland Depot mp CG25.3 with BNSF engine #6209 & 130(?) empty coal cars & rear dpu BNSF engine #6286. He’ll be going into Wells Siding mp CG41.4 & tie down. This is the last pair of BNSF engines on the property. The former "pusher engines" CSX #3080 + #238 were towed to Detroit by L303-22 on Sept 22nd.

Since then, they have been holding back a pair of BNSF engines from prior coal trains to serve as the added power to get the loaded coal trains over the Saugatuck Hill. They didn't always use the same pair of BNSF engines for the "pushers", they'd used whatever pair was the most convenient to place on the rear of returning empty coal trains that were set off in Wells Siding mp CG41.5

L301-05 @ 18:21:47 eastward Bangor, Mi Division St crossing mp CG60.93 cam.

L301-05 @ 18:46 eastward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 Pearl, Mi with 78 axles. He's headed back to Grand Rapids.

R599-04 @ 18:50 contacted the Dispatcher saying they want to take the solo BNSF engine #6209 from the front of their empty coal train & place it on the rear to be used as the extra power for the next loaded coal train.
