Passing through Holland Michigan @ 05:57

CSX engines #3242 + #875 + 47 cars.

Note: this mornings train woke me out of a dead sleep so it took me by surprise. I had a hard time getting the engine numbers so I took an educated guess on those numbers I do believe the car count is accurate.
Hopefully Tom or Andy24 will be online soon and will be able to give us a 44.2 DD report to confirm.

Sounds like during a call between the tower and Y106, L303 is “spinning their power”

The work cars have been unable to start their work because they were told to wait for Y106 but Y106 can’t leave until their work is done at Wyoming and of course they can’t do their work until Marquette Rail Z151 and Grand Elk are are out of the way.

Sounds like they are trying to work it out, hard when the line of communication isn’t the most clear.

Also it’s funny that Wyoming obviously this isn’t the busiest yard in the state but when more than a couple out of the around 8 trains that will be in or out of the yard in the entire day/night, things get jammed up like this.

It is always a traffic name between the 4 trains trying to get in and out without any issues. Sounds like a great day to get all 4 trains at once
