Just a public BOLO (Be On Look Out) for this loaded coal bound for West Olive, MI. Not 100% confirmed if the BNSF #9669 Exe MAC will be in consist after departing Chicago, IL.

BNSF 9669 will be the rear unit on C80010. Should be on duty in Chicago late afternoon. If the engine is lead capable, would have a chance to lead empties out Wed or Thurs.

9669 has PTC, so it certainly is possible for it to lead west.
