SW did you notice the crossings in old village were malfunctioning?
They were flagging some intersections and even had road flares on Holbrook.

Q328 & Q329 had a perfect meet in Howell this morning at 06:44. 32810 went east by the house at 06:35 with CSXT 5295+971 and 61 cars, 32910 went west at 06:50 with CSXT 284 single unit but only 9 cars. No wonder 329 was early today.

Heads up Plymouth Sub-east. Loaded EB grain train passing MA in Lansing at 08:55. Power is CSXT 536 and 3466. Unsure of the symbol. Get a shot with those fall colors!

I believe its run by a certain Mr. Frost Inc. Mr. Frost takes real good care of weeds and vegetation this time of year....then again...its not unlike CSX to run a weed train this time of year....sorta like that tie gang in December a few years back. Get out the switch cleaner jet to THAW OUT the right of way....before they start working. 8-)

P370-10 is currently going through Benton Harbor. Sounds like AMTK 138 leading.
