Guessing the CSXT #4228 will be set off in Lansing for L304 & L305 to use. The #4228 had been paired up with the CSXT #4014 for L304 & L305 & on Aug 31st, 2022 the L302-31 had towed the #4228 to Grand Rapids. From there, it was towed by M327-02 on Sept 2nd to Chicago.

Did not notice that they did unless you mean "different" power. A few days ago someone mentioned there had not been a L302 in three days and wondered if it was lack of crews or power. After a very short L302 yesterday, most of the first 80 cars out of 149 total today were for GLC at Ann Pere, regardless if they all get set off at Lansing today or bring some back on 303 tomorrow. There was a large cut of stone on the rear, RN told them they had two tracks to pick up on their way west at Lansing. L302 was by Howell by 18:15.

GLC this morning picked up 86 cars at Ann Pere, some of which had been sitting there for nearly a week, and L305 today put 46 more in the siding today.

What’s the engine? CSX or Grand Rapids Eastern or Grand Elk WAMX ?

[Plannerdad]

CSX

[Andy24]

CSX

Okay, then it’s Y297 as the train ID if the engine is CSX. Maybe CSX 6518 or 6544

Seems to be there around 6:00pm most days. Photo has too much glare to see the number. Interesting operation going into the building.
