Was this post needed
Indeed it was. Also, Use the off topic thread to chat, not the CSX thread.
OK Larry and Curly if Moe were here he would clunk both your heads together at this point.

Note: M326-13 had a graffiti covered Southern Pacific box car in its consist this afternoon.

Note: there were a few Wheels on M326 today. Quite the streak of Wheels on 326 recently.

Destination is Webberville, MI and B235 is loaded Potash cars

Would make sense a CP is leading(?)

R598-12 @ 00:55 on the move westbound with CSX #3289(?) + CSX #3209(?). Unsure what siding they will tie down.

M326-14 @ 9:49am heading east reported by DD 91.9 St Joseph, Mi at 302 axles; CSX #308 + CSX #291(?) + 1 and 71 cars

M326-14 @ 10:47:33 heading east Division St crossing mp 60.93 on Bangor Live Cảm with CSX #308 + CSX #291 + CSX #8199 and 71 cars

CSX #3209 and CSX #3289 went to GR this morning. Probably for their annual inspection. It is likely that CSX #3387 and CSX #3300 (M326-13’s engines) will be the new helpers for coal trains.

Any idea the approximate time M326 would cross the Richmond bridge?
