L303 with CSX 3457/CSX 4055
18:45 - L303 eastbound thru WE Brighton with 45 cars. For my own notes, I think L304 has been doing L305's job, as no L305 has gone on duty during the 22rd and 23th of May. In addition, on the night of the 23rd, with no traffic on CN, CSX's SD40 type horns were heard in a pattern suggesting Hagadorn and Mt. Hope.

There was a grain train eastbound on the Plymouth sub this morning. It was in South lyon around 6. This should be the return of G792.
Power for this train is CSX 5392 and CSX 5380. Both ES40DC's. They are still in the siding between Lilley and Joy road.

I'm assuming m326- 25 hit the defect detector in Zeeland at 2:29 p.m.

I'm pretty far ahead so I couldn't get the train number. It was all static but hearing the train defect detector call out no defects within a couple minutes. I don't think it's m326.

It was m326. They just called clear Grandville at 2:48 p.m.

M326 at Ivanrest. CSX 5486 and CSX 62 back to back.

Anyone know why they have rigging equipment at Wyoming? Is something on the ground in the yard?
