10:38 - Z624 on the phone with the CSX RN, asking for permission onto CSX's track at Ann Pere to begin working (Z624 is GLC's symbol when working at Ann Pere).
The RN advised of two speed restrictions, between CH 59.0 and 60.3, and 60.3 to an unknown milepost. Presumably where the MoW crews are working.
I have heard crews call signals thru Brighton a few times this morning, always adding "main to main" as seems typical of the MoW crews.
Rumor has it that L305-02 is annulled today, in addition, the RN mentioned "there is a 707 out there" making me wonder if the L304 symbol is being used currently.
