Last I knew, the S33501 train that picked up the units in Howell at 21:45 last night to get the left over 118 cars in Plymouth by Q33529 three days ago, was dead on the main at Holmes Street east of Ensel at 06:00. They went by Howell at 05:05. Hope they found another crew for it or Q33501 won't go far. CSX 502+3414 is the power on that one.

EDIT: Q33501 approaching Fowlerville with 185 cars. K239 light power just pulled into Webberville. Evidently that was not a grain empty on Saturday that went there, but a fertilizer load.

Nope that earlier train was Q274!
Q506 from Cincinnati.
Thanks for the updates/corrections, TrainStuff13 and C&OGP75745. Clearly my ability to hear and remember scanner audio needs work!

Anyone know the scoop on the 95 car manifest that rolled east through Grandville at 6:45pm tonight? It had a pair of BNSF GEVOs followed by three CSX units (a GE -9, spongebob #4017, and another GE CW unit). The first 30 cars +/- were the cement hoppers of the type that Buzzi and LC receive. Usual assortment of mixed freight traffic typical of a Q326 behind. I was expecting a short D700 so apologies no other unit numbers. Was this a recrewed Q326 or something else?

S-335 by Howell at 12:30pm with 163 cars. CSX 7678 leading, 2491 trailing. Lots of BNSF grain cars on both the head and rear of the train. Everything in between looked western as well, Another westbound behind it, perhaps Q335.

The potash train for Webberville is at Lansing now. Sounded like K885, with CP 9502 leading.

Looking at CN ATCS at Durand, there is an eastbound CSX lined across the diamonds at Trowbridge.

S335 seems like a regular train, it's been running so much lately.

17:25 EDT S335 SEEMS TO HAVE ARRIVED IN WYOMING. HERAD THE EASTERN MOST TOWER GIVING THEM WORDS OF WISDOM ON THEIR LANDING INSTRUCTIONS. ALSO Q33403 SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR TRAIN TOGETHER. MIGHT HAVE HAD TO KICK OUT A B.O. CAR. DOES NOT SOUND LIKE THEY HAVE LEFT TOWN YET.
