Q32708 is arriving GR with 70 axles, 1029 feet per Conrail Jon and the Clarksville detector.

X500 should be just past Lansing, so expect it to Plymouth about 5-5:45pm?

X500 was at Williamston 10 minutes ago, SOO 6031 and 6054 leading. Q327 is in Wyoming yard, CSX 8440 and 2567.

Anyone know when that N954 usually returns south from the time it came north?

Whenever it's called. It should come back as a E951, at least that's the way it was. First time I've seen the N954 symbol used in quite awhile.

Perhaps the Essexville coal is now back to the CSX/SBS routing?

Could be, I haven't seen BNSF power up here in quite awhile.

N954 cleared South Clyde around 18:50 or so.
