P370-08 is currently departing St. Joseph. Sounds like AMTK 27 leading, and they'll go into the siding at Wells for Q327, which is over 12000ft this evening.

Some noteworthy CSX shenanigans:

As of 9/8/2017 CSX Q241 now originates back in Detroit. Train runs to Baldwin, Florida.

Some extra trains will be running around Michigan. Probably to alleviate the yard congestion:

CSX X369-11 is planned from Walbridge to Chicago. Should depart Walbridge late tonight. Train should be heading up to Plymouth, then taking the Plymouth and Grand Rapids subdivisions.
CSX S395-10 is planned from Willard to Detroit. Should be departing Willard soon.

83 cars...maybe someone has discovered that if you DO NOT send cars from Ohio to Chicago then up to GRP you may not need a pusher...send them up via Willard to Toledo and then GRP.
Naaaaaaa. Nevermind.

Someone I was talking to at the east end of Wyoming yard at Judd street told me that he saw X369 come into Wyoming yard at roughly 45mph. Anyone able to confirm that? If the crew was unfamiliar with the area and no one up in the the east tower, then I guess there wouldn't of been anyone here to stop them.

Absolutely crap. Speed limit is 25 mph on the main, which I assume he was on. If you're used to 10 mph trains and one blows by at 25 it'll seem fast, but somebody served you a hyperbole.

"Unfamiliar" crews don't happen (or at least aren't an excuse)...you have to be qualified to run whatever territory you're on or have a pilot.
