L302-27 has CSX 5239 and CSX 234 if I’m not mistaken. I’m also hearing a U302-27 with CSX #5485 leading too, unsure if that is coming behind L302-27

I would assume either G790 or G824 or any empty grain train from the southern states. This empty grain went pass Princeton Cam yesterday at 00:47am hours with CSX #5265 leading.

For the Princeton Cam, I’ve been noticing it’s mostly G790s. For Deshler Cam, it’s G824s. For Fosteria Cam, it’s G126
