Anyone know why D700 was annulled today? Could it run on Saturday?

Toledo to Cinci train, Hearing that Walbridge is a mess, they built it up in Detroit to avoid adding more cars to Q399 to walbridge, guess Q355 is going up there tonight for the same reason

approx. 620a 326 was at the bridge
rn told 371 they would be going thru the siding when they
meet 326, rn worried that 326 would not be able to restart out
out of the siding.
d801 will push 326 up the hill and may stay on 326 into Wyoming,
rn just not sure yet.

It sounds like 326 is waiting at Kirk for Amtrak. The D801 heading down the hill is going to get behind a coal train at Wells. Not sure whether they are pushing the coal train up the hill first or just ducking in the clear there for 326.

Sounds like after D801 gets done with Q326 they will go to West Olive to get some empties together. Q326 has 9036 leading. They're currently going up the hill.

Amtrak P371-06 is about to move onto the NS in Porter at 09:19 ET.
