L301-16 eastbound passed through Zeeland Michigan earlier this evening @ approximately 18:05 or close to it.
Engines CSX #6412 + CSX #4070 + 27 cars.
Note: if it’s possible maybe Tom or Andy 24 can go back into the scanner archives and pull up the DD 19.1 report and give us the technical data along with an official timestamp. This evening‘s train sounded belligerent overbearing and mean and gave off a very harsh and unfriendly vibe as though it was being led by a former Conrail EMD SD80MAC or maybe a leased unit of some other kind of make and model.
