09:50 - NB B522 with CSX 3311/CSX 8540 (SD50-3) at Plymouth and taking the wye to Rougemere. 8540 led the outbound B523 a couple days ago.
It is the other way around. B523 is NB run and B522 is SB run per Deshler Log
Dear Andy24AndyAverageGRRailfan69420Productions,
IDGAF what you read on the Internet but B522 is NB into Michigan, through Plymouth where it heads east to Rougemere.
Stop correcting people when you know absolutely nothing about what they are talking about.
I mean, there’s nicer ways to say things aswell.

Lasts nights B235-19 potash train had their cars spotted into the ADM plant in Webberville at 02:01 with switches and derailed restored to normal position with only 30 minutes left to work. Somewhere all the line they lost a car as there were now 84 cars (as reported) instead of 85 as I watched numerous times going around the N.W wye at Deshler nearly a week ago.
