08:46: P371 met Q326 at Wells, freight in the siding. 8579 leads Q326 with a UP ACe trailing. 85 cars or so, 5300' of train. Loads called out of Chicago around 3 but doesn't sound like they're on the GRS yet. BNSF and Citirail GEVOs idling at West Olive, no crew. D700 is going long today, they met Q326 at Hudsonville. MS Z627 also in the picture later on.

10:45: D700 west at Bangor. 2659 with 5 coils for Arlington.
10:51: D700 at DD66.2: no defects, 24 axles, 306 feet.
Guessing D700 and N800 will meet on the Benton Harbor double track...but I can't hear N800 on the feed yet. They were reported to be around Michigan City about an hour ago. RN said they're going into the hole at Wells, but it also sounded like they planned helpers, so their future today is up in the air, at least for me!

Re: CSX Updates 3-6-17
Caught Q326 eastbound in Hudsonville this morning. About halfway through, I noticed a "rider", hanging onto the grab bars between cars. I decided to follow, and he was moving back and forth from the left to the right side of the car at speed. He ended up jumping off at 28th. Had a Chicago Bears backpack......that's long trip hanging onto grab bars!!

Correct on the 197 cars. CSX 7868+4552 on the head end. Approaching Williamston at 15:10.SD80MAC wrote:D906 westbound nearing Brighton. 197 cars if I heard correctly.
Last I knew, Fridays D708/D908 still sits dead in the Fowlerville pass without any power on it for the last two and a half days with 38 cars that has yet to make it east of there.. Now, the RN just informed a welder at Howell she doesn't have anybody else in the picture because todays D708 is turning a Fowlerville. No Ann Pere work done since last Thursday, no Thai Summit work since Feb 22nd, and they are turning at Fowlerville?
