I'm guessing this is what's clearing Holly Diamond at 08:30, BNSF 9950 & 9687. I did not hear them calling any of the Holly signals.

Amtrak P37112 running a little late today, signal troubles around Holland.
D70012 at Lamar in GR ready to go west
Dispatcher said N90311 was down at Grey and would go to Grand Junction to get some D800 jobs to push it up and over to West Olive. An E949 or E950 was called for 9am out of West Olive, so they should be west through Holland around 10:30am.
N90105 seems to still be in Grand Rapids.

D70012 working Hartford, Y106 at Snow Road in Grand Rapids. - 12:20pm
Argh, empties now going through? Bah, just a little too early.
D801 is down at Wells getting the loads together.
Nevermind, on lunch, waiting at 140th south of Holland for e95009 12:44pm

Thank you for the heads up Tlout, that crew was sure quiet on the radio. Signal problems at Wells where they'll need to be talked by east and west end, currently approaching Wells at 13:12.

Yes it did, with BNSF 9950 and 9687 for power.

Other trains in the night were N90105 with CSX 287 502, same power as it left GRP with to go back to the mine on 12-7, Q33511 with CSX 9006 and CREX 9053, and Q33411 with CSX 4026, HLCX 7843 CSX 2727.

Got the Southbound BNSF units at New Richmond at 1:02 pm. From what I can reached in this, there is northbound at Wells coming back to Holland and GR.

Also, CSX 2671 is switching in Holland and may be going somewhere. Any thoughts.

Those southbound BNSF units were CSX E95009, western empties. I was a couple miles north of you at 140th Ave shooting them. The northbound you speak of is at Grand Junction, a coal load to west olive running as N90311 with D80112 pushers.
CSXT 2671 switching at Holland is just Y121 putting together their train. I'd imagine they'll either be going west from the Holland depot to switch the dock track, or following the coal load to go north and switch Windquist and Ryder(TLC)

Since E95009 has to stop at east and west end of Wells, if you have time, i'd head south to get a second shot of them.

Missed the W001 :(
Westbound empties went thru right before I got off work in Coloma. I could barely hear the train number, may have been E927.

D700-12 with CSXT 6435 and CSXT 2210 is dead at Livingston.
