I think you are right. I heard Dispatcher calling L301 earlier and asked the crew if they will beat M326 or will be behind M326. L301’s side was in static on scanners.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates- July 2024
2 engines and 177 cars with +3 axle error? Or 2 engines and 178 cars with a -1 axle error. From L303-03’s job briefing earlier, he stated “couple of set offs and 30 cars to pick up”. I’m thinking 178 cars is the correct count
