I'm not sure, but I think 7294 is an SD70ACU.
According to some of my sources, it is. Was originally an SD90MAC, but was rebuilt in March 2016.

Q385 rolling west into GR. Sounds like they had issues overnight. They either only have one unit now or one functional unit.
Q384 coming out of the siding at Fox at 0951.

That explains why there were zero overnight trains at Howell. Track inspector currently running from Fowlerville into the siding at Trowbridge for Q384.

At 0910 hrs, D700 was rolling west at Waverly in Holland with the CSXT 6413 and CSXT 2227 and 21 cars. They had clear signals and proceeded through town at track speed south - not sure why they didn't stop at the yard to do their setout.

Of the 21 cars:
2 CHs from Buzzi
1 CR Coilshield for Arlington
1 bulkhead lumber load
5 tankcars (Holland transload I think)
6 Sand hoppers
1 gon for Padnos
Balance misc. covered hoppers.
