move. rn asked why
reply - there is a crummy and engine ahead on the track we're on.

BNSF 5714, 9764 with empties south at Riley St. Holland 3:45 PM. Surprise - pushers - BNSF???? and 5732.

[BL2-1843]

X20030, that has been sitting at Beck Rd. Plymouth since New Years Eve, now approaching Fowlerville @ 16:15. Crew dead @ 20:00. Power is 464,5327,8724, but the lead unit was taken from Q33502.

Speaking of, Q33502 has also being hanging around Plymouth since 06:00 this morning when they stalled coming around the corner towards Sheldon Road. Now one unit less, and no relief crew on the train yet, tomorrows Q335 may catch up with it before it leaves. Still snowing in SE Mich, for well over 48 hours straight.

If I heard right, X200 has been into and already out of Wyoming heading west.

[SD80MAC]

Q326 had cool power if it ever made it into GR today. CITX SD40-2 and a CEFX SD40M-2 with around 50 cars.

[cnw8835]

Q334 is stopped on Main 2 short of Seymour due to a penalty brake application from the cab signal equipment. They are working with Jacksonville to get the cab signals cut out.

[amtrak1007]

On the move 2132

[EJE Dispatcher]

P370-02 by Michigan City, IN at 2047cst.

[Saturnalia]

And the 370/371 score is 0 for 4.

[Jochs]

P370-02 is currently departing St. Joseph. Sounds like AMTK 183 leading.
Also hearing chatter on the scanner, like someone cutting crossings. X200 at Gross perhaps?
There is an X200 parked at Kirk.

If I heard it correctly, it is Q335-02 but they are eastbound. Extra power going to get the train at Plymouth?
