SOUNDED LIKE THEY CALLED KCSM 4080 WHEN THEY CALLED ZEELAND. DD 19.1 WAS 18 AXLES AND 204 LENGHT.

Q327-26 west at Kirk at 00:07. 128 axles, 1850 feet at 44.2 DD earlier. BNSF 9301 in the lead.

West at Vine CG 92 at 00:49. 129 axles, 1816 feet at 91.9 DD.

Another precision railroading doozy:

CSX Q507-27 departed Rougemere Yard at 3:23 AM. Currently is at Michigan Avenue, CH 11 as of 4:50 AM and is having issues (not surprised):

CSXT ES44AH #830
CSXT ET44AH #3307
277 cars long & 17,248 feet.

Looks like Q326-27 is east at Curtis/CP-497 at 10:00 ET.

Eastbound onto the CSX in Porter at CP-482 at 10:45.

Eastbound onto the CSX in Porter at CP-482 at 10:45.

Q326-27 eastbound through Stevensville at 12:00 ET and has:
-CSXT 5382
-CSXT 8095
-CSXT 3163
-119 cars

Cars 2 and 4 looked to be high/wide transformers on 8 axle cars. This is a 30 MPH train.

EDIT:
At 66.2 DD at 13:07. 502 axles, 6796 feet. D802 with BNSF 6430 leading is westbound headed to Wells, will push 326 up the hill later. Another job will be on duty to re crew 326, who expires at 1500.
Edit again, both trains all stopped and tied down at Wells as of 14:10. There was a loose cable between the second and third engine, so they couldn't ever get up to track speed.
15:00- Crews tying on pushers in the last few minutes before expiring.
15:55- D801 (326) east at CG 28.

20:25 EDT Q32727 WB WE HUDSONVILLE. CSXT 5382 LEADING. WAS STRANGELY QUIET AS IT WENT THROUGH GRANDVILLE.

20:34 EDT Q32727 NO DEFECTS AT DD 19.1. TA:98 TL:1358 SOUNDS LIKE 3 6 AXLES LOCOS AND 20 CARS.

P370 east at Vine at 21:03
Loud westbound at Vine at 21:33. Empties?

hi steve it was 326's power on 327 last night
20 cars was correct, but for the 2nd night in a row 327 worked waverly yard (sat and sun)
last night it looked like the 1st 10 cars were wy cars - jb tanks, couple loaded lumber centerbeams, with gons and boxes

P371-28 west at Livingston @ 08:35. AMTK 55 lead.

Q326-28 eastbound Approach Limited at Vine at 09:35. CSXT 3341 leading. 574 axles, 7549 feet at 91.9 DD. Clear Hilltop.

3 engines heading north at Riley St. Holland 12:40 PM. Leader KCS 4080, other 2 CSX.

Saw an eastbound train through Woodbury at 12:28. CSX 53 leading. Looked like about 40-50 cars. I forgot the second units # but it was CSX 6 axle of some sort facing west. No scanner so no symbol but it looked like all the usual cars for a D707 or D907. First day light train I've seen east of Grand Rapids since May I believe.

Y121 CSX 6030 pushing 1 boxcar north at Riley St. Holland 4:36 PM. Heading back south with 2 boxcars 4:54 PM.
