[Tier4GEVO]

Northbound CSX N660-21 cleared South Novi at 2:39 AM. Loaded coal for St. Clair. Lead locomotive CSXT 3172.

At 2:59 AM it hit the Wixom detector. 524 axles and 6,918 feet. That is 128 cars if it was pulled by two locomotives.

[Tlout]

Amtrak P372 eastbound extra is approaching Porter CP 482...

[amtrak1007]

Y106 finished run-around and is headed west to Alto

[justin_gram]

Amtrak P372 eastbound extra is approaching Porter CP 482...

Amtrak P372 (CSX P938) east departed St. Joseph at 12:55 EST, 10 minutes late. AMTK 34 leading, 4 Superliners, AMTK 90413 trailing.

[justin_gram]

D802 westbound at New Richmond... Amtrak 372/P938 arriving in Holland. Sounds like they are going to wye the train.

Something has 340 axles? at 19.1 DD. Approach Medium niner at 14:30.

D802 will attach onto an eastbound coal at Wells... Sounds like when back eastbound they will attempt to get between the Saugatuck signals on the main and let Amtrak 373 pass them in the siding.... And not delay Amtrak. This westbound Amtrak should depart Holland at 15:10. They are currently near Waverly, crew switching ends. NOT wye-ing the train. 90413 will lead.

[SD80MAC]

Q326 east at Jenison with CSXT 7672, 8357 and 2039 with 81 cars. Q327 called for 1640.

[justin_gram]

The coal train is headed east... Plan is to get 373 into the siding, and let the coal keep moving and not stop... If they have to stop they will have some trouble getting up the hill with the rain. P373 still has the ID P938, most likely will get some delay meeting this train.

Coal train eastbound out of the siding onto the main at 15:00, P938-23 westbound about pull up to Holland station.

Amtrak 373 / P938-23 departing Holland westbound on-time at 15:10 ET. AMTK 90413 leading.
D802 eastbound clear CG 39.

15:38 ET - Westbound P938 medium clear out of Saugatuck. Probably got around a 15 minute or less delay.

Dang, all these trains running when it's light outside. Too bad the weather is so miserable.

I know... Looks like it will be 50 and sunny on Sunday when these extras run again

Q327, which will head out later, has a bnsf unit as the lead locomotive along with two other csx units.

[amtrak1007]

Got an EB lined up to WE Elmdale... Not on the map yet however.

[bkoole98]

If I decide to pace this one, hopefully they will go a little faster. A couple nights ago, I paced Q337 from Grandville to Hudsonville and they went only 15mph the whole way. Had they been going faster, I would've continued pacing them to Zeeland, but it wasn't worth it.
