That's N800. The crew reported a train three cars longer than usual today. They got a shove up the hill from a pair of CSX motors (5200 and 5336), which then cutoff at WE Saugatuck and is heading west to meet Q326, possibly at Riverside. They mentioned "rescuing" 326, not sure if that's a crew rescue or a horsepower rescue or some of both. They passed Bangor at 10:28.

D700 was West thru Bangor at 09:35. CSXT 8181 with 17 cars, including 4 hi-top gons for Hartford, a Holland pickup, and a lumber load destined for Grandville. D700 returned east at 11:25 with the same consist, with the 4 gons setoff in Hartford and two loads picked up there.

Y121 in Holland is currently assigned CSXT 2801.

Oh the irony
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

9043 is one of three former CSX 9000 series units now being leased out by GECX. 9018 & 9049 are the other two. Along with at least 150 or more of CW40-8 units that are no longer on the roster in the 7300-7929 group.

More false crossing activations at South Lyon. Right as the high school gets out. Traffic jams for days.

Just in time for D708 who just left Howell for South Lyon to pick up a car at 16:00 with nine cars. CSX 5256-4042. They sat off 5 scrap empties at Ogihara and picked up four more loads, which is eight cars this week.
