This particular covered hopper was a Union Pacific branded car with CMO (Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha) reporting marks. Not the typical type of covered hopper VdB receives! Thanks as always for your diligent Zeeland updates GRH&C.

22:17 - Grain train west through South Lyon. Green Oak DD at CH39.1 said 384 axles.
This figures out to 93 cars if they had two six axel units. Train was G804-30 and went to Webberville. Did not see the train, but when spotting it at ADM they were using CSX 582 so that is at least one of them. Crew had the train spotted by 02:30.

7788 is still with the train. Currently designated as trailing unit only because of no heat in this locomotive.
