MittenRails,are you sure it’s BNSF 8540 leading? I reported BNSF 8540 on a loaded coal few days ago and the set is at West Olive per Tom’s post below.

Edit at 13:28: it is BNSF #8570 leading

Anything on M326

[amessmann]

22:06 - I131-07 south thru Joy Rd. CC 84.2 with UP 8346 solo. Sounds like L310 will proceed north from Newburgh once they clear.
What looked like L314 was headed south at Novi before I left for Plymouth, but no sign of them yet. Shortly before, headlights (of a 645 powered leader) could be seen at Beck Rd. CC 71.8. Unsure if this was LSRC.
22:29 - G805-03 south thru Joy Rd. 595, 5334, and 5467 elephant style leading 90 cars. This is what I saw exit the siding at Novi.
22:31 - L310-06 with solo unit 6515 north thru Joy Rd. as the last car of G805 cleared the crossing. 6515 was seen later at Plymouth East Yard (Eckles Road CH 23.0) then proceeded further east.

23:45 - EB lined at EE Brighton, likely G076 from Webberville.

On duty in chicago 2100

[amessmann]

03:14 - G076-05 east thru WE Fowlerville with 3463 and 3294 leading 90 cars. The train will be parked at the north side siding.
I noticed that covered hopper CSXT 262626 was in the consist, present also in the G090/G089 train for Newago last month!
262626 can be seen at the 04:38 mark (and barely at 01:25) in my latest YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HiBAccjzrA
