Yes, G126-05 is heading to Grand Rapids. Another Newaygo grain empty with 84 cars. 335 was trailing 3094. Both units facing forward again but it does not make any difference with the train going to GRP.
G126-05 (grain train) @ 16:13 westward reported by the DD mp CH104.3 Mulliken, Mi with 348 axles. CSX engines #3094 + #355 (elephant style) & 84 empty cars.

I screwed up again. Trailing unit behind 3094 on G126-05 was 355 NOT 335.

17:57 - L302-07 thru Trowbridge diamond, 862 and 3170 leading 112 cars if Sparrow24's axle count is correct.
In the 50th position, PMRX 75325 (a rusty ex-Soo covered hopper) had its front bay ajar, releasing grains of what looked to be a clear mineral.
