MQT Z151 headed to Wyoming yard with 3 SD-40's

What about the dead geeps at Hughart yard?

MOW is in Grandville this morning working no. 2 main around the 28th St. overpass to mp 6. They are replacing rail on the curve under 28th St.

Too bad. There was a lot of trains on that line until they started routing stuff around Queensgate. When CSX aquired the "Bee line" from Conrail that started the sequence of events to move traffic away from Queensgate.

WMI has now begun rehabing rail east of CR681. Still lots of tank cars. The plan is to rehab their way east to Lawrence. The day I saw them interchange with CSX they recieved nine cars.

What trains are left on the Corbin sub? Seems like CSX is trying to avoid Corbin or am I wrong?

Gotta be the U. P. and branches in Wisconsin. With the tunnel in Port Huron, the instant bypass around Chicago acquiring the "J" and getting the main line from Chicago to Superior Wi, CN has a huge advantage over everone else. Just have to trim some of the branches. I agree also that they could sell...

Welded rail train departed Wyoming yard this morning wondering if it deposited any rail west of GRR or just passing thru.

The MOW stuff was at Grand Junction. The Herzog ballast train was in Wyoming yard.

That ballast train with Herzog gons that was sitting @ Wells on Friday is in Wyoming yard. As for Q327, yesterday's power from 326 is sitting at the west end of the yard. I can only think it's crew availability.

I went over there Friday and agree with Super Chief. Remote control SW1200 and slug.

Wondering if Amtrak will come in tonight. I thought launch date was the 30th or is it 7-1?

On the subject of the hill, what's the status of the big MOW project in this area. I know they were working around New Richmond but haven't seen any updates.

CSX’s 36,000 ton, 2.5 mile long N800 should be underway from Chicago soon. Too bad it’s so late in the evening. Crew expires at 01:45 ET Why do they expire and they haven’t left yet? It probably took awhile to put this monster together. At least it's good weather in case they break a knuckle or two...

I see they are replacing the crossing at Shaffer Road in Kentwood plus new ballast east of there. Wondering what other MOW projects are going on around GRR ?

I'm not sure we will see a Q327 today. Went to Wyoming yard and all I see is yesterday's 326 in the yard. If 327 runs today it will be short unless MQT shows up with stuff.

326-08 Stopped in Grandville at mp6. Slowly walking the crossings. Must be having crossing signal issues again.

D700-03 switching at Standard lumber in Grandville.

The Q327-30 land barge has CSX 843, 3321 as the mid train helper with 4035 & 2649 dead in tow behind the mid train helper. Chased this land barge past Hudsonville and this is one of the biggest land barges I've seen! Wondering if this is the new normal for 326/327?

MOW crews working the 36th St. crossing filling in the cavity from panel track replacement and rehab work. Hoping they are done tomorrow. Finished on Friday 5-29.
