Q326 thru Grandville @ 14:00. No U.P. power, just 3 big CSX GE's. Tractors and tires towards the rear. No stacks.
Might be yesterday's 326. I saw 2 decals on the right side of the lead engine, one possibly being the builders plate and UP 3rd out

P370-04 is currently departing St. Joseph. Sounds like AMTK 90229 leading. Also sounds like the Charger is in the back of the train, so will lead P371 tomorrow.
Q327 is sitting on track 1 waiting on P370.

1030hrs - West Michigan report

MMRR 2019 with train Z627 is currently doing their interchange at Holland Waverly Yard.

CSX 729 is leading Q326-05 eastbound, was tough to make out the milepost on a recent communication. Recrew ordered for them which will happen at Wells.

Y106 sounded like they were departing Wyoming EB a few minutes ago. Not sure what their power is. They asked about Q385. Q385 just departed Walbridge and is at Vickers with "about 300 cars." :lol:

CSXT 2249 is switching Waverly Yard. 1100 hrs edit - Clear WE Saugatuck, WB, D700

EDIT 1115 hrs - D700 and Q326 are meeting at Wells at this time.
