Crew for coal empties out of West Olive on duty at 0800. They may also be shoving a loaded train up the hill.

Ok some of extra train traffic running via Grand Rapids is due to Garrett Sub being plug and short on crews.
Some Garrett crews are running trains from Chicago to Garrett,then turning right around if they have time to
take a train back to Chicago.and then cab home back to Garrett for rest.nice pay for crews.
Most of Flint grain trains are like Grand Rapids grain train the going to the southeast part of our country like North Carolina,Alabama and Georgia etc. so Flint won't lose there grain train to GRR.I haven't heard of any Grr to Saginaw or Flint manifest trains being rerouted thru GRR either.

W092 has been on the move around Wyoming Yard for a while now. It sounded like they were ready to leave awhile ago but are now doing an airtest.
