Q327 was by Fennville around 00:30 with all four units kicking and screaming. Slow crawl when they hit M89, cruising along near track speed by the end. Neat stuff at night

0905- Q326 at Holland, D801 cut away and following them. Sounds like D702 is coming east out of GR as well.

D70607, right on time, by Howell at high noon. CSX 3072 leading +7916+7754 and perhaps 5204 on the trail. May have had more units than that but could find only four written down. Around 125 cars. They will need a pilot at Plymouth today, and may have a lengthy time waiting.

I know it's just a silly typo, but D702-07. Currently lined at Middle River through South Lincoln. Train must be at Plymouth, and could still be a while.. I have noticed many times that trains with re crew points will still be lined on ATCS for the layout in this area.

Thanks on the 4th unit number correction. NICE to know you are still around. Guess I had better watch myself as apparently I have called D702 as D706 more than once.
