Q327 doubling up their train in Grand Rapids currently. X11503 coming up from Toledo this morning, guessing more intermodal wells for storage at Brighton even though the last ones were only pulled out of there a month ago!

Probably the same cars returning. The only reason the siding was cleared is because MofW needed it to do some work on it. Perish the thought they actually needed the cars to load them.

Engine movement EB D738-03 cleared Eckles Road about 15 minutes ago. I believe it was a EMD duo, trail possibly a SD50 which will probably lead going back west. M392-03's set of cut cars was just east of Eckles Road for today instead of the usual Middlebelt/Merriman location.

Amtrak P370-03 just went east through Stevensville at 21:22 ET. Looked like a P42 on the rear end, probably on front too. Hard to tell from distance in dark. Leader's horn was a bit high pitched.
Departed St. Joseph at 21:29 ET, 14 minutes late.

Edit - Yep, AMTK 36 is still leading.
