Looks like there is a potential eastbound for the CSX approaching Porter on the Chicago Line as well

For the record, this turned out not to be the case. Coal train got off and the other one kept going east on the Chicago Line

Q326-17 was to set off 10 cars & 30 cars to pick up from Waverly. They were out of time at 01:20 & Y250-17 completed the work for them. Not sure if the pick up was made, since Y250-17 eastward was reported by the DD at mp CG19.1 @ 07:25am with 112 cars. Or, maybe a pick up was made, too, but just not as many cars as what was originally said.
