[BL2-1843]

Noticed a grain train in the siding at Beck Road earlier today. Assuming it’s an empty westbound waiting for a crew.

G801-18 (grain train) @ 22:30 eastward reported from the east end Grand Ledge mp CH97.8 with CSXT engine #5211 leading. On March 17th, the CSXT was leading the G026-15 eastward with CSXT #811 as the rear dpu.

A little correction Here. That was G125-14 with CSX 3462 that had 811 as the rear unit. 5211+8096 that went west as G02615, and that came back on G801-18 overnight, also went west as G80423 on March 4th and returned back east as G80301. When CSX8887 asked the question at 11:17pm as to where G801-18 was the train went by Howell at 11:52pm. The grain empty Sparrow24 reported being seen at Beck Road in Plymouth on Saturday is still sitting there as far as I know. Was hoping he would have seen the power on this train.
