P370-05 is currently going through Benton Harbor. Sounds like IDTX 4617 leading. They were stopped in St. Joseph inspecting the train after hitting a tree near Hilltop, at milepost 89.7.
Q327 is going as soon as P370 clears.
edit: P370 departing Gray after checking out a (false) fire alarm on the engine. Q327 going west at St. Joseph, looking out for debris where the tree was.

Q327 is currently going through Stevensville. Sounds like CSXT 3068 leading, 546 axles, 7459 ft. at DD91.9.
Also, they reported to the RN that P370 hit the tree pretty good, what was left of the tree was scattered everywhere, clear of the tracks.
P370 somewhere around Hartford now.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Sounds like the power on Q326 is going to cut away and head toward Saugutack for a coal train that is at porter.

Heard what sounded something like NB X001-06 clearing 7 Mile Rd. about 16:00. Also heard "CSX 7400" a couple times in separate garbled transmissions; not sure it was leading 001 or not.

WB Q241 just turned south at Plymouth. CSX 169 + 4555 + 28 autoracks. No intermodal.
Q385-04 is sitting in the siding at Lilley Rd. CSX 7878 + 2 other units, too hard to see in dark. Headlight was on when I first saw it, before 241 passed. Thought it was getting ready to go, but a half hour later it hasn't moved and now the headlight is off.
