D707 was west though Woodbury at Ch 116 at 09:37 this morning. They had 12 cars, mostly ch's, with a black tank on the rear. Sounds like they picked up some empty cotton seeds in Lake O based on the radio traffic.

In Woodbury around 14:15. Still heard them on the radio until about 14:47. Might have been picking up some cars in Woodbury.

Y121 just got the switch for the dock track in Holland. Going to investigate.

Edit: looks like they have a tank and a box for Heinz and a gon for Padnos.

Forgot to post this earlier, but MQT Z151 was NB at I-196 in GR at 15:15 EDT. Power was under the bridge, out of sight, but the train was about Lake Michigan Drive to Bridge Street, plus or minus a few.

Seems to be the usual consist as of late. 3002, 2005, and 2007 are all "broked" and I think someone mentioned 3001 was having more issues than normal. You guys are stretched pretty thin power-wise!
