Yesterday I had heard him on the scanner reporting with CSX engine #3200 which was paired with CSX #3230 on Q326 on May 2nd.

Q327-05 @ 09:13am on the move reporting from Grandville mp 6 with CSX engine #3170 leading & is probably paired with CSX #724 from yesterday's Q326.
Q327-05 @ 09:35 reported by the DD mp CG19.1 with 544 axles & 7,614 feet long. CSX engines #3170 + #724(?) & 133 cars. Dropping off 8 cars at Holland.

More questions answered on the D90704 yesterday. CSX 3200-3230 was the power as reported by Tom. Not in the original plan, but after arriving at Lansing with the cars that were brought there, trainmaster had them run to Howell power light to pick up 41 cars in the passing siding left by GLC, seeing there was no D708 on Monday, and returned back west by 22:10.

Q326-05 @ 5:11pm eastward reported by the DD at mp CG19.1 with 568 axles & 7,873 feet long. CSX engines #3290 + #3286 & 139 cars.

NB D735 arrived at Middle River at 18:00. NB Q508 turned east at Plymouth at 18:30. Missed power on both while on my bike.

N800-05 is currently going through St. Joseph. Sounds like BNSF 6272 leading.
