Not sure what's up at the GRE. The inbound GDLK is on top of the outbound CSX. 371 is configured pull-pull (Thanks to Glenn because I couldn't see the second engine this morning due to the trees).

Tower was just telling Z151 to pull east and he'd be getting a signal soon. Looks like they are heading back north.

By Howell at 1524. First CSX road train in three full days here, since Q327 ran last Friday. D708-06 today arrived in town eastbound with only 4 cars, all for GLC, and returned to Ensel engine light. Can it get any worse?

I can hear CSX coming thru Holly now but I can't see which direction from my vantage point.

A little late but a 4pm the GRE crew was still out east. They set a centerbeam out for the C&M and I'm guessing CSX delivered this morning but just a guess

I'd be quite amused if they sent the outbound GDLK, to CSX to send to home rails. Wouldn't surprise me, but with logic and the railroad being as it is, I could see CSX getting their cars to/from GRE via Hugart...

I was under the impression that the contract between CP and CSX was the CP ws to run a minimum 1000 cars per month via GR\Detroit. How they did that was up to CP. I thought the contract was still good for at least another 18-24 months. Could be why X500 is staying and the K trains are going to the B&O line.
