I believe those tracks are CN and the train was E251 based on the reports in the CN thread

01:05 - Sounded like horns on CSX, CN ATCS reflects that, wondering if L303 is continuing east.

Does anybody know where L303 is? They should have been by me hours ago.

Last I heard was when L302 was at Williamston around 18:15 when the RN told 302 that 303 had broken down. Did not say where or what the problem was. Am sure we will hear something from somebody soon. What I want to know is what happened to the G806 grain train LRF said was at Galetia Ohio, I believe, days ago now.

G806 went to LSRC Bob.
