Does appear that way. As of 0700 they were signaled to go all the way to lake odessa. About 0730, they took the signals down. Switch just got normal'd behind them at WE fox at 9:10am

Q326 east by New Buffalo at 10:20am. D700 just got a time out by the dispatcher, thrown into the siding at Grand Junction, 60+ miles away from q326. Guessing d700 has cars for Hartford, but surprising dispatcher wouldn't let them just shove into the spur at Hartford to start their work and let q326 roll by.

q326 east by Bangor at 12:12pm, CSXT 8729 leading CSXT 5101. mixed freight on headend, some tractors and tires, more mixed freight, and intermodal on the rear. 600 axles, 9401 feet. D80119 pushers are at Wells for Q326. D70019 heading west nearing Bangor at 12:45pm, stopped for over 2 hours for q326.
D70019 has CSXT 4032 leading, 3 cars that looked to be for Hartford(ifrx 92180, ifrx 61013, and ifrx 61007), and 3 cars for Sawyer.

MQT Z15119 at Turner St in GR coming south to Wyoming Yard 1:20pm.
1:25pm - q32619 east at Saugatuck with pushers staying on all the way to Wyoming Yard so that q326 doesn't have to stop, must be short on time.
4pm - Q38419 east at Lake Odessa.. very early day for them.
MQT Z15119 chugging north out of Grand Rapids 4:33pm.
4:35pm - d70019 east at Bangor with CSXT 4032 long hood forward, 1 coil hopper, 2 open hoppers, 4 tall open hoppers. Maybe the 6 hoppers were all from Hartford as they weren't on D700 on the eastbound run, and they dropped off the 3 tall open ones they had.

While soon to be retired SD60-I 8729 was leading Q326 this morning, soon to be retired SD60-I 8735 was the middle unit of three on Q385-17 this afternoon at Howell. That makes three Michigan sightings on the 8700s so far in 2018

SB cleared 7 Mile Rd. about 5 minutes ago. Scanner was silent, but I heard the detector earlier at Wixom, announcing 166 axles and 2442'. So perhaps D736 with a single unit and 40 cars.

There is not enough room at Hartford for D700 clear up their entire train on the WMI interchange.

D707 is still sitting in FOX, and there is someone else occupying the siding at Lake Odessa.

It sounds like 707 left a car in the siding at Lake Odessa.
