E801-05 @ 11:37 on the move westward from Gross mp CG63.1 with BNSF engine #9183 & 130 empty coal cars & rear dpu BNSF engine #9296.
M326-06 @ 12:12 on the move eastward from Kirk mp CG70.2 with CSX engine #774 + 1 & now has 72 cars.
M326-06 @ 12:32 came to a stop inside Gross between mp CG61.3 & CG63.1 due to a possible air issue. It turns out the "repaired car" they had picked up from Kirk siding is still defective & will be set off inside Gross Siding.

L302-06 @ 15:50 westward reported from N. Lansing mp CH88.3 with CSX engine #3424 leading. Assuming his trailing engine would be CSX engine #3417, since they were on yesterday's L303-05.
L302-06 @ 15:58 westward reported from Ensel mp CH90. No work for Lansing, or, will be backing into Ensel for work there?

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Aug 2023
He is doing work from the Ensel end of the yard mp CH90. MTO Mr. Brown had asked him why he was going so slow thru Lansing & he had replied he had to get below 4mph to drop the Conductor off to work the switch. Are the engines running elephant style, or, is there an issue where the CSX #3417 can't be leading?
L302-06 @ 17:27 westward reported by the Defect Detector mp CH104.3 Mulliken, Mi with 372 axles. CSX engines #3424 + #3417 & 90 cars.

Ensel is the west end of the yard, so L302 works the yard thru that control point.
