BNSF 6365, 5868 light power south at Riley St. Holland 1:05 PM.
That would be to meet Q326 for a shove up SAUGATUCK HILL. After several days of trains well under 100 cars, today's version featured 146 mixed.
Q326-12, 13:37 hrs, Bangor MI
CSXT 907, 5485, 4008, 146 cars

D700 was EB at Bangor at 14:00 exactly - big power today: CSXT 7868, 170, 878, 5247 with 3 coils plus 22 (Holland pickup), 2 high side gon loads from Hartford, and a single tankcar from somewhere west of Bangor.

V-919 grain empty with 90 cars for Grand Ledge is at Williamston at 16:40. CSX 5381+8181. Nice number combination. Both units facing west which means they will need a third to come back east loaded, or go to GRP to spin the power.

Q38411 last night went into emergency coming into Howell which turned out to be a parted air hose 50 cars back. They had a none working EOT so had to walk the train to the rear. The good news, when they pushed the button on the EOT it became active again. Bad news, a mile and a half east down the road the same air hose popped apart again. Not as much delay this time but between the two they were near by between 01:45 until well after 03:30.

Q327-12 is currently going through Riverside. Sounds like BNSF 6365 leading....and they'll meet P370-12 in Benton Harbor.

Q385 turned west at Plymouth and halted, barely clearing the southwest wye. D737's engine has coupled on to the rear and is now pushing. I went to Sheldon and still couldn't see the lead engines, so it must be pretty long. CSX 3186 is pushing.

Power was CSX 5220+5336 on the head end with 133 cars. First 50 were loaded stone cars for either Lansing or Grand Rapids. Q384 over night had the two BNSF units that were on Q326 yesterday. 112 cars and by Howell at 00:44.

Yep, 5270 is what the scanner said, that's what the eyes saw, that's what the log pad has written on it, that's what the log sheet has on it, but that's not what the fingers typed. Thanks JJ.
