Correct. Looked like 7205+5809 here but did not get a close look at them. 42 container platforms on the head end, around 110 cars after. Must have been a good 50 tank cars in a row ahead of 30 some stone empties at the rear. Q384 took a two hour delay at South Lyon for Q385. 385 by Howell at 04:40 with CSX 716+540+4042 for power on the head end but only 87 cars, all freight. Perhaps they left half their train at Plymouth as that happens frequently for what ever reason.

326 got hit by a detector on the NS earlier, dragging equipment on 95th car.

Crew in-route from Grand Rapids to recrew 326 currently. Rail grinder is somewhere west of Saugatuck, will have to go to Grand Junction so pushers can get onto the rear of 326, then can come back up to finish what the need to. Pushers just departed West Olive.

Eastbound coal train about to knock down the light at CP-482 Porter to the CSX.

Sounds like there's a D-job pushing Q326 up Saugatuck Hill, and that D job will then meet an N800 at Wells later today.

Westbound lined up Lake-O Seymour. Scanner is on. I'll give report if I manage to see it or hear it.

Something ran out from Wyoming last night after dark and parked in the Fox Siding. It's still there according to the board.

This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
