Q38419 east by Howell at 11:36. 148 container platforms on the head end, 64 freight following. 124 platforms were doubles, 23 were singles which equals 86 wells as none were empty.
Late yesterday, Q38517 went west by Howell at 22:37 with CSX 7913+4580+3329 with 138 cars.

Q38516 by Howell at 18:45 with the same five units reported numerous times at Plymouth in the last 24 hours, and the one blocking Joy Road Plymouth for over 24 hours as well. 159 cars, no intermodal. Moving quite slow by me, but they are probably aware that D708 is not even in the siding at Fowlerville heading east yet, which, at this time of day is probably as far as they will go.

The SB manifest SW saw Sunday evening was CSX S507-19, which ran from Flint to Walbridge for some reason.
Also, Q150 and Q151 have been replaced with Q510 and Q511. Still the same origin and destination (510 is Willard-Det, 511 is Det-Willard).

Have not yet heard or seen anything of Q38420 yet and its already after the noon hour. D70820, who had a re-crew to start with died in Fowlerville last night with quite a few cars on. Last I knew, D707 could not run if they didn't get their power back to Lansing, and didn't. Crew did not get picked up by taxi until after 02:00 and todays crew will taxi to Fowlerville whenever they get there.
