I was wondering if L302-24 would have CSX engine #135 today - that engine had died on L303 yesterday when he had only gotten as far as Fox siding & they had cut away part of their train & set those cars off inside of Fox so that L303 could make it to Detroit with just the CSX #85 operating. Is it known for sure that the CSX #135 is the trailing unit on L302-24?
