M326-30 @ 12:18pm heading east reported by DD 19.1 Zeeland at 408 axles. CSX engines #953 + #5450 & 99 cars.
Heads up to all railfans, Marquette Rail is currently bringing down 90 loaded CSX grain cars bound for NC. Not sure when this grain train expected to depart from GR
L303-30 is going to depart. Waiting to hear more calls.
Not 90 cars for MQT right now. This is the first half. After dropping in Wyoming they’ll go north to get the other half.
Z151-30 @ 14:34 at Plaster Creek
mp CGT2.0 headed back north to their railroad with engine MQT #3391 leading to pick up the remaining grain cars & had told Rouge tower it may be 3 to 4 hours before they return to Grand Rapids.
We thinking that there will be that CSX grain train out of GR today?

We won’t know until Marquette Rail brings the remaining 45 CSX Grain Cars to GR in a few hours. Not sure what Subdivision they will take either.

04:57 - Sounded like horns on CSX, ATCS reflects that theory showing nothing lined on CN's side. Westbound grainer?
