C800-07 @ 15:30 eastward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with what should have been 532 axles (message was broken up). BNSF engine #9290 & CSX engines #3289 + #3209 & 127 loaded coal cars & rear dpu BNSF engine #9347. He'll be stopping at the east end of Wells mp CG41.4 to check the MU cables to the CSX engines, had said they were "loading funky" & might have to get replacement cables. Apparently they had resolved their issues without having to get replacement cables.
