That B714 ethanol detour was spotted from 196 clearing Lamar with the BNSF leaders heading WB. He looked to be moving at a decent clip already.
As much as I know this will probably be a one off move, I wouldn’t complain if CSX did this again.

What was up with the one loaded coal car on M327 today? Why didn’t it go to Consumers?

Y121 is currently in Wyoming Yard for an unknown reason
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2023
There is no engine at Waverly yard In Holland Michigan this morning so they probably have to pick one up from the Wyoming yard.
They had to do the same thing on Friday when they started their day in Wyoming yard went west worked out of Waverly yard then returned east at the end of the day.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2023
What I assume is M326 just went by Stevensville. Two six axle locomotives plus a four axle locomotive up front. Assume this will be going to relieve the shortage of local power.GRHC wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 10:21 amThere is no engine at Waverly yard In Holland Michigan this morning so they probably have to pick one up from the Wyoming yard.

Only caught a glimpse of it, but it appeared the four axle unit had a pink battery box on the right side.
