L302-05 between 22:42/23:12 had made an emergency transmission, his radio call had a lot of static & had said he struck a vehicle at the Wingier Ave crossing mp CH132.3 (this crossing isn't shown in the 2011 time table copy I have). No info heard regarding injuries. The crew took their train to the west end of Fox mp CH143.3 & tied down there.

U302-06 was the re-crew between 04:40/05:10 & will bring the train into the Grand Rapids Terminal when Amtrak P371 departs. They have CSX engines #5273 + #5441 (elephant style) & 113 cars.
