G802-26 for Grand Ledge this morning had 3062 + 449 for power. G801-27 had only two units, 991 + 3370 that were reported. Still not yet known what happened to the units on the first Grand Ledge train. (22+4015)

That’s where CSX #439 (Spirit of Birmingham) went, on a grain train. I was curious if they’ll ever return on L302 anytime soon. I saw CSX #439 on L303 a few days ago

L301-02 @ 10:22 am Job Briefing with RN Dispatcher in Grand Rapids, Mi: CSX #4044 + CSX #4059 with 10 cars (10 loads and 0 empties), at 1155 tons and 855 ft long. He’s heading to Waverly(?) mp CG22.84 than Hartford mp CG68.7 with a Kirk mp CG70.2 runaround. Dispatcher mentioned M326 at New Buffalo

Revised at 11:05am: it was CSX 449, not 439 with the G802-26

[BL2-1843]

Cancel the 439 on the G802-26 grain empty this morning. Typo on my part as it was 449 NOT 439. May not have caught that if you had not mentioned the Spirit of Birmingham unit.
