Q38427 went east at 04:50 with CSX 3194+3098+557+7711+4285. 27 container platforms up front, 142 general freight behind. First four units was the power that came into GRP on Thursday on 326. CSX 557 that had the surprise box car logos on the side of the long hood, did NOT have them on the front or rear. V94422 grain empty, with CSX 100+8019 got spotted at Webberville by 20:00 last evening.

Around 1300, my way back from Owosso after chasing the 1225, I spotted CSX 8019 + 100 sitting in Webberville at the grain elevator.
