0910 hrs- Q326 rolling north at 28 approaching Holland at this time. CSX 5408 and 3257 and 57 cars. A long string of Potash Corp covered hoppers in the middle. Both nice shiny engines.

Also, a very short D700 is westbound at Waverly. Didn't catch the power #.

Q33518, into GRP yet, or not, was by Howell at 01:10 with 175 cars. CSX 421+5380 for power. Looked like one of those X369 trains with a ton of BNSF cars on it. Nothing yet on Q33519.

Probably D707 going east back to Lansing I'd think.
Spotter in the field says Q33519 should be west by Brighton as of 11am.

"Spotter In The Field" was correct. (not me) Q33519, with 144 more cars, by Howell at 11:17. CSX 5235+7 on this one. Made it back from a long bike ride just in time, but the wife was keeping me posted on their location. (she wasn't the spotter either)

Either an abysmally late Q335 or some other random freight passed WB at South Lyon 10 minutes ago. Didn't have a scanner, but pretty sure it wasn't D708; they switch farther up the track.
