E801-02 @ 12:40 westward Holland Depot mp CG25.3 with BNSF engine #9194 & 130 empty coal cars & rear dpu BNSF engine #8430 & CSX engines #3034 (dead in tow?) + #5489 + #3387. He’ll take Grand Jct siding mp CG54 & set off the rear CSX power - not sure for the CSX #3034, it had issues yesterday & failed while on the C800-01 as it was going up the Saugatuck Hill & couldn't be re-started due to having dead batteries - this engine may be going to Chicago.

Regarding 8619 being on L303 today, and, the unit that was picked up by L302 at Lansing on Friday, it was just one more case that everytime a L305 unit is swapped out with another, the one one coming to be used is most often facing the wrong way not to be back to back with the one staying. This was no exception, thus the spin around.

Haven't heard anything over the scanner but it looks like L302 will take the siding in Brighton, there is an approach signal for L303 by Bauer Road.

L302 is in the siding, clear signal for L303 whenever he shows up

6:23pm L303 passed Mp47

By Howell at 19:00. Among the cars in this train were two old faded orange grain cars lettered HTMX (I believe) and numbered consecutively beside, still with Illinois Central Gulf showing through.
