Q385 has permission past the stop signal at Beck Road.
16:08 Sounds like they're having a meet with somebody at South Lyon. Unfortunately I left for Brighton to catch 385 (to mix up the camera locations a bit) and then I heard whoever that is while westbound on the 96. Oh well. :lol:

Haven't heard a peep out of Q326 and the CSX helper set has been sitting in Wells for a good 5 hours. I don't know if the crew is still on board though. Around maybe 1:21pm, I heard the crew on the scanner make the assumption that Q326 was maybe going over the bridge in St.Joseph; however, I guess Q326 was still in the Chicago area at that time.

Q38514 by Brighton at 17:14. SOO hopper on the end. Too far away to pick up the detector. 56+3399. Track next to me in dire need of some new spikes.

113 cars. Met Webberville grain load G010 at South Lyon. CSX 432+7710 with 87 cars. To become G65516 at Plymouth. D708 has been waiting ready to go east at Fowlerville for over an hour. Has Thai-Summit work on the way east and if they still have time will go to South Lyon to turn because of Green Oak work. Q384 this morning should have BNSF 9250 trailing behind BNSF 8583.

Edit: Because of the length of time waiting for Q385 at Fowlerville, D708 is by passing Thai Summit work and going direct to South Lyon. By Howell at 17:55.

Q327 with a SD40-2, GEVO and another big GE, with 132 cars, clear Bangor at 2045hrs.

Amtrak P370 was about 25 late into Bangor with the usual consist.

What I assume is a recrewed Q326 is passing through Bangor now at 2344 hrs. Two GE's with 183 cars. The second half of the train was solid shabby looking covered hoppers, several of which are Soo Line, so funny that Q385 has one on it as well.

All of those SOO line cars might be a big cut for King Milling in Lowell.

P371-17 is currently departing St. Joseph. Sounds like AMTK 90229 leading. From last night, train should have IDTX 4621 on the rear for power.

The King Milling Yard in Lowell is about 2/3's full and there are 10-15 at Ann Street in GR as well. If those are for King, not sure where they will place them, other than the CSX in Wyoming yard for a while.

A late Q38416 did not get by Howell until 05:47 this morning using yesterdays Q38514 power that did not get to GRP until 21:00. 3399+56, plus 5437 that came back with it. Yet another grain empty for ADM Webberville, G76414, went west at 08:30 with BNSF warbonnet 689 in the lead in very poor paint condition as most of the 600 series are, and BNSF 7366 trailing. 45 minutes later at 09:15, Q38515 went west with CSX 103+3374+500 and 123 cars. 500 is the Spirit of Grafton unit. Webberville grain empty just got to Webberville for spotting.

A bunch of Soo Line hoppers went south on GLC this past week.

All of the recent Kings have arrived via GDLK. Only a few tanks for Amway and an occasional center-beam for Standard.
