From yesterday evening through at least 9am this morning, the Waverly Siding in Holland has been full of cars - almost all tankcars with a few mismatch covered hoppers sprinkled in for good measure, stretching all the way from the Lakewood Blvd crossing to the EE of the siding. No power was seen. Any idea why they are sitting here?

Reported on Monday night that Q327 was having issues between Hudsonville and Holland.. have the cars been there since Tuesday morning? If so, maybe 327 set them off there.
Listening to the feed archives, I hear they had dragging equipment and were stopped at 112th Ave in Zeeland at 8pm Monday night. MP19.1 defect detector says "dragging equipment near axle 297, 326 axles, 4542'." And nevermind.. listening in more, they secured what was wrong with that car with help from MOW in West Olive and continued on their way without dropping off cars as best as I can tell. MP 44.2 said 326 axles, 4605' on Monday night for Q327.

Heard something about Z627 having to shove west out of the pass before returning north, this would have been around 4?

2035 hrs- in the waning sunlight, Q327 knocked down a high green at WE Hudsonville behind the power bkoole98 described with 144 cars. Nice looking trio of dark future GEs on the point.

Around 11:30am Thursday, I saw a short SB at W. Fulton street in GR; one CSX engine and one KCS box car. Seemed like an unusual time for the west side local and I am not sure who on the GR west side on CSX receives or ships boxcars?
