That was G077-22 and as amessmann reported, went to Webberville. No visual here, but sounded like 286 was leading. For sure, 5425 was trailing as that was the leader when returning back to Webberville after running around their train at Williamston. Perhaps 4070 will get picked up by L303 today seeing they did not get it on Saturday.

An empty E80321 is currently sitting under I-96 with no power. This will likely be one of, if not the last coal train to see the rails of the Saginaw sub

Yesterday’s L302 dropped a cut of 20 stone cars in Ensel for StoneCo. L304 will most likely be working them tonight.
JAIL has 22 cars in the interchange track for Monday.

"Sparrow24 could be described as a mediocre railfan, as he is generally disinterested in horn types and couldn't tell you one locomotive from another."

Just to visualize the decoupling scene: M326-23 has CSX #584 + 75 cars + mid-CSX #3423 + 5 cars (broken coupler/knuckle) + 56 cars behind > total of 61 cars trailing.
Note: broken coupler/knuckle is the 5th and 6th boxcar in consist.
