Did Q326 get up Saugutuck hill? 11,000 ft. of train??! One would think
CSX would run a second section like on Thursday.

Doubt it...probably a double day!

Last I heard the back 1/2 of 326 will be left on the main at Wells for a while until it can be brought to GR. Sounds like Charger train will have to go around it in siding.

D701 was going through Newark at 10:16am with the same UP power as yesterday and a BIG train. Engines were really roarin coming up to Newark. Anyways, the train should be coming up to Holly any minute now.

SB D701 cleared Wixom with the UP units on yesterday's D902.

[BL2-1843]

With 170 cars, good luck getting D701 up Salem hill from Plymouth to South Lyon without having to double or triple, even if all 170 cars were empty. There would be barely enough room to double the train at South Lyon with Brighton being blocked with cars.

*HEADS UP ALL GR AREA RAILFANS BETWEEN BENTON HARBOR AND GRAND RAPIDS****. A Amtrak Test Train 950 is currently heading EB outta Chicago with a Siemens Charger at the lead, left Chicago around 11am.

How big was 335 sometimes. Or do you think just not enough power.

P950 clear NB 1300

[BL2-1843]

D701 by Howell at 1:40pm and at a good clip as well. Must be those U.P. units are good pullers. 90 of the 170 cars were tanks. They already have their EC Form from Ensel to Lake Odessa.

P950 has AMTK 4611, 1 horizon, 2 amfleets, and AMTK 35 trailing. Departed St. Joseph at 13:35 ET.
