327 clear the DMV at hudsonville.

Also worth noting, two AC4400’s are in the siding here. Not sure why they are here.

NB intermodal turning east at Plymouth. CSX 747 + 953 + 40 doubles + 4 single stacks + 66 empties. No scanner with, but looked like Q150.
Wait, I just realized I posted the same engine 747 on trains going in different directions. Must have missed a digit on one of them.

NB D737-14 clearing 9 Mile Rd. CSX 2722 leading.
A southbound cleared 7 Mile just as I got home from my bike ride at 19:45. Guessing it was D736.

Sounded like CSXT 529 to me. As of 9:53 pm, they should be around Bridgman.

P370-14 is currently departing Bangor. Sounds like IDTX 4621 leading.

Sounds like they were going to wait on the main at Livingston for P370, but will now go to Sawyer and wait on the main for Amtrak.

Q326 is on the CSX at Porter. Decent train. Amtrak 371 lines at least to New Buffalo so I presume the meet will be there
