I looked again this morning, there is room around King and south of town for 30 or 40 more hoppers, if those on CSX are for King. Appears they have unladed quite a few over the past couple days.

Today's Q385 had a cut of DSRC and NNW hoppers on the rear, appeared to be loads. King has gotten many of those in the past but I suppose they could be for anywhere.

Webberville grain empty just got to Webberville for spotting.

Are you sure that the warbonnet was leading on the G764?? Because the power was apparently switched around at Walbridge meaning that it should have trailed coming in.

No doubt about it, it was on the lead. When the crew got to Williamston to run around their train, they informed the dispatcher that the locomotive heater on 689 was blowing cold air on them an their second unit had no dynamic brakes and would need another leader when the train gets loaded to return to Toledo. Evidently between the cold air blower and no dynamic brakes is why they were not switched, What a crew just to get the train there. By the way, BNSF power department said a ticket had been written up for both incidents a week ago.

Q327 once again had stopped by mile post 7. They have been stopped for over and hour with 5 crossings blocked in Jenison and Grandville. Their last car was between the signals at the end of the double track in Grandville. by my cars odometer they are between 1.7 and 1.8 miles long.

Listing to the super scanner Q327 is having computer problems on their lead locomotive. They have two six axle GEs. 9400' long with 11000 tones.
Wyoming yard master is trying to get them to pull out to the Hudsonville siding to get another engine. But they won't fit in Hudsonville.
