Green for a SB in Novi.

ATCS Shows a Red Bar indicating train at North Wixom. But there is no green between it and North Lincoln, indicating either 1) train is stopped for some reason, or 2) glitchy bar (which has happened before).

Approaching Plymouth diamond now. Looks like Q321. Two units leading, too dark and far away to see the number boards.

Was Q321-24, like you I couldn't make out the unit numbers as 10 Mile isn't very bright. The power was a GEVO, either a ES44 or ET44, followed by a SD70MAC.

Straight-shot SB? Besides Q321, K273 and K871 were the other two symbols today.

No, it was a WB that turned south at Plymouth. It must have been K871, as I didn't recognize the symbol so I didn't report it. Actually, sounded like K871-19. I caught it on my bike at Ann Arbor Trail.
