From the post I had read, one engine is going to Virginia for re-painting & the other is going to Hartford but no state was mentioned. Is it Hartford, Michigan or:
Hartford, Arkansas.
Hartford, Connecticut.
Hartford, Georgia.
Hartford, Illinois.
Hartford City, Indiana.
Hartford, Iowa.
Hartford, Kansas.

L303-01 @ 11:20 Grand Rapids, Mi job briefing with the RN Dispatcher: CSX engines #5371 + #945 + PNLX engine #7471 (in Western Maryland RR colors) & 51 cars (17 loads + 34 empties) @ 3,357 tons & 3,125 feet. He’s a “key train” today & ready to depart & has No work in Lansing. Meet Y106 at Seymour mp CH148.1 [will have to verify car totals in the scanner archives - very scratchy radio]

[revised at 11:49 the call was scratchy & instead of the engineer saying xx loads & xx empties he just gave a string of digits for everything. If I heard it all correctly the DD's should report 222 axles.]
