CSX engines #797 + #3138 were borrowed on Apr. 8th for L305. I don't know by whom or when they were actually returned to Grand Rapids. They definitely weren't on tonight's L302 but could have been on last night's L302-16. These CSX engines are headed to West Olive & building an empty coal train.

Curious to see if R597-17 will only have the CSX engines for power if he does move out an empty coal train tonight, since, BNSF engines #5929 + #5604 (lite power) were left tied down in the east end of Wells Siding to be the extra power for the next arriving loaded coal train. At this time, BNSF engines #9292 + #9040 are in West Olive that were brought to there earlier this morning on a loaded coal train.
