327 thursday
255p - clear east waverly
all stop at holland - getting ready to set off at waverly, via holland
lakewood blvd and 120th ( waverly ave ) blocked by 327

308p - 327 with waverly set off all west of holland os, meanwhile left hand and right hand have yet to determine
if to set off at or just recouple and go to barr
319p - left hand won over the right hand - 327 restricting holland - back on their consist
334p - clear holland
344p - eot clears holland - rn asked 327 if they can make barr yd -
327 says there are a few ifs,
1 - have they the power to pull the hill out from the st joe bridge, or will they have to double the hill
2 - what will happen on the ns between porter and curtis

the waverly set off : 2 sc, 5 ch, 1 tk, 1 box, 3 tk, 2 ch, and 15 mt covered gons - 29 cars
will go to barr yard and come back to waverly on 326 as of this time,
they could have 327 set off the waverly set off at east saugatuck for 700 to bring to waverly,
but then 327 would die enroute to barr and with the crews in grand rapids cut to the bone,
that isn't a really good option
