19:40 - L302-28 out of the siding at WE Brighton.
In addition, I had neglected to mention that U303-25 had two CSX "big logo" gons, 483426 + 1, too dark for the second number but I had ..426 committed to memory. Also, L303-26 had 300 axles or 72 cars.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - June 2024
Sounds like they are cutting 4568 from G757
(Maybe so they don’t get flashed in the night)
Buddy said should lead M327-29 tomorrow.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - June 2024
Side note that 6566 is one of those newly released GP40-3 units from Metro East Industries, which retained its original EMD cab during the rebuild. I approve of thisGRHC wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2024 9:28 pmWhen and how did CSX engine #6566 get to Waverly yard in Holland Michigan?
Late report that L301 was Grand Rapids-bound from Waverly Yard yesterday around 16:50 with the aforementioned cars from the St. Joseph run plus the addition of a couple shortie covered hoppers and 6ish tanks from Muskegon, 3 gondolas, and 4 larger covered hoppers. One thing they did not have with them were the dozen or so loaded scrap gons which Y121 (6566) was bringing down the dock track about 15 minutes before, along with their caboose. Most of Holland was a gridlock at this time and I’m sure the train had something to do with it.
Unrelated to all of this, MPC Cashway lumber in Lansing had a centerbeam on their spur ready for pickup on Wednesday this week.
