L302-08 @ 23:17 westward reported by the DD mp CH104.3 Mulliken, Mi with 304(?) axles & 4,545 feet long. CSX engines #263 + #3062 & 73 cars.

There was a lot of static on the Plymouth sub scanner but it had sounded like 304 axles & then dropped off. The length info was gotten from the CSX West Mi Scanner where an Amtrak call had stepped onto the axle count for the DD104.3 but the length could be heard.

Some kind of issue had developed after he had passed over the DD104.3 & Dispatcher said she would check her readings & had said she didn't get an alert. They stopped their train to inspect it. Turns out they had found they had an extra car in their consist that they had realized by the DD104.3's axle count.

There was an issue with Broadcastify's CSX West Michigan scanner, where, it was found this morning it did not log the radio calls from 12:00am to 12:30am where L302's DD mp CH126.3 report would have been found.
