E801 with BNSF 5983 leading is currently going through Benton Harbor.
Currently going thru Vine at 23:39 ET. Sounds like BNSF 5983 leading.

Hearing horns right now in Woodbury. ATCS shows a westbound lined as far as Fox right now. Probably that monster Dx07 of some sort.

Yes, D905-06. They were to tie their train down at Fox, but listening over the web scanner sounded like they were going into Emergency someplace east of there. They will be recrewed.

Z739-07 was at Wyoming early today and was departing for Hughart around 0845 hrs. Y106 departed not long after for the SE side.

Maintainers, welders and roadmaster all out and about this morning, but trains are moving too. D801, D700, Y121 also heard over the airwaves.

0958 hrs EDIT - A D803(?) is at EE Saugatuck with CSXT 6393. Not sure what or who this is.

Looks like something lined into the siding at FOX from the west. D905 still is lined for the main at Fox from the east but appears to be stopped somewhere between Elmdale and Fox on the ATCS monitor.

Yep, the W001 Geometry train that has been in the state recently, went by Howell at 10:30 heading west to GRP. CSX 6025 with whatever the extra tag along car has been on this train recently is for, was behind the locomotive. Looks like an old smaller coal car.

Meanwhile, all the talk on the board already this talk already about the D7005/D906 and D706/D906 trains and their problems, I can tell you that you can forget about thee 220 cars supposedly being on D705 coming out of Toledo yesterday. If they had them when they left, somewhere between there and Howell they lost 56 of them. D905 went west by Howell at 04:04 but with "only" 164 cars. They add a unit to the train from the two that has been running on these trains since starting on Monday, as CSX 8715 was trailing 3263 & 8624. They did turn the power somewhere since it went east on D906, because 3263 was now facing west, and the YN2 8624 unit was now facing east.

Any chance that 8624 will lead the D706 today? If anyone finds out or catches D706 please post.

D706 sounds like they are about to head east from Wyoming Yard. D706 did spin their power in GR so 3263 is still leading.

16:30 EDIT: W001 will be tied down "near the roundhouse" for the night (weekend?).
D706 still hasn't left the yard yet. D700 arrived at Wyoming about 15 minutes ago.
