L302-14 by Howell at 18:18 with 65 cars. 3394 + 7240 on the head end. Train had one of those new gondola cars near the rear with the HUGE CSX on one end of it. First one I have seen in person.

Assuming the “HUGE CSX Gondola” was similar to this CSX Gondola that was on todays M326-14. Yes, I know it’s a bad angle shot of the train.

Nope. Stop standing so close to the tracks and stop assuming EVERYTHING.

He’s not? People film there all the time.

Any word on W080 yet?

Any word on W080 yet?

If there’s no reports on W080 on here, he’s likely tied down still.

Thanks , I wasn't able to check the camera so I asked on here. Usually more chatter goes on about trains in there.

Just for my own notes, G792-10 arrived at Grand Ledge on 6/14, and G126-12 went to Newago? on 6/15. I had thought something went to Webberville recently (as in is still there or ready to depart) however cannot find any posts regarding this, does this check out? G792-10 should return as G791-15.
