W001-10 East was scheduled for 0745 out of Barr for Grand Rapids. Should be CSX 6025 + 3
M326 was called for 0500 so I’d assume they’re ahead of 001. Power looks like an SD70 and SD40 of sorts.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
M326 goes dead at 1700 with a super heavy train, and they're still stuck at 482 waiting on another WB on the NS. To add insult to injury, there's a broken rail at 128.2. Looks like the geo set will be a late afternoon/evening arrival.
