L304-10 @ 03:11 westward copied their EC1 for Ensel/mp CH91.0 for their work at Grand Ledge. CSX engines #8887 + #4045 & 4 cars.
G792-10 @ 03:29 had released their EC1 for Ensel/mp CH101.0 Don't know if they're tying down or if they are going back eastward.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
MP CH101 is just west of Grand Ledge, grain trains pull into Grand Ledge siding, run the engines around to the east end of the train, then shove the train into ADM for loading. Power stays with train at Grand Ledge for ADM to load train.Tom49801 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 3:21 amG792-10 @ 01:07 westward had copied their EC1 for Ensel/mp CH101.0 for their work at Grand Ledge.

MP CH 91 is by the Lansing airport, so L304 likely doesn't have work outside of Lansing, but needed a short stretch of track authority to get out of the west end of the yard at Ensel (CH 90) for switching or to service the JAIL interchange.
