L305-07 replaced 8849 with 8350 today to run with 4014. Currently east of Howell at 18:15 to run around their train in Brighton. They may leave more GLC cars there because they apparently have no plans to pick up the cars in the Howell pass left by GLC on Friday.

Westbound by Trowbridge at 22:04. 2 light engines. Looks like they left the train in the siding at Trowbridge.

Q326-07 @ 16:14:24 eastward Bangor's Division St crossing mp CG60.93 cam with CSX engines #5466 + #354 & 55 cars (he had picked up a Bad Order car from Gross mp CG61.3) They are not to exceed 40 mph to Grand Rapids.

Q326-07 @ 16:46 eastward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 292 axles & 4,273 feet long.

I personally find that sort of comical, even if they didn't have a restriction, I doubt they'd ever go 40 between Bangor and GR.

What’s funny about that? Plenty of places to hit 50 between Bangor and Grand Rapids, even with Trip Optimizer.
