K901 at Eureaka Rd bound for GR. V764 coming out of Toledo behind it for Webberville. G706 on duty getting ready to head east from Grand Ledge. Looks like a good day for some day light moves on the Plymouth sub.

While they would prefer a five day a week switch, they usually get switched three days, Monday-Wednesday-Friday. D708 is there 3-5 hours most days, usually arriving between 4-5pm. When the work does not get finished, D908 will finish, sometimes not leaving until after midnight, like two nights ago.

The K-901 reported as coming, which I was surprised to hear as we never get stone trains in the winter, turned out to be 53 loads of vey large chunks of white rock in CSX gondolas, which I assume is for the washout areas reported around Benton Harbor earlier. Power was BNSF 5952 and NS 8893. By Howell at 09:43. Regarding the V764, unless there is another one coming, V76411 arrived and was spotted at Webberville by 9pm last night.

West bound train passing through Sunfield at 11:25. BNSF leader and an NS unit trailing; hauling 53 gons.


Edit to add:

Sorry for the choppy post earlier. I fixed it up a little now. I was driving and that was SIRI attempting to post for me. This was certainly the train BL2 reported through Fowlerville earlier with 53 gons loaded with rip-rap.

Avoid M14 and Beck... Just got off and is a complete disaster.. Considering the fact that traffic is stopped as far as my eyesight goes, it's been there for a darn long time.

Amtrak P370-19 moving onto the CSX from NS at 20:27 ET.
N80019 with what sounds like BNSF 5733 leading east has a clear indication at Vine at 20:32 ET. 532 axles, 6988 feet at 91.9 DD.

N80019 is lined up onto track 2 in Benton Harbor, sounds like they will hold at Riverside so P370 can go around on 1.

EDIT at 21:15
P370-19 east at Vine. 20 axles, 373 feet at 91.9 DD. AMTK 94 leading.

Looks like Q327 crew just got onboard and will now start getting their train ready. What looks to be like a tier 4 gevo in front and SD40-2 behind it. Kind of neat contrast of old vs new.
