Q326 passing Bangor Camera @13:24 hrs, power as reported by Justin, elephant style, with 122 cars. 44 might have been recently painted?

Zeeland Report from this past week:

Zeeland Lumber had a pair of centerbeams spotted on Thursday. The Thursday Y121 also picked up the NYDX-reporting mark covered hopper which was at Vanden Bosch since the beginning of the week (their 15th ish car of the year). Plastcore has a single covered hopper on their spur. It seems like individual cars sit for quite a while on this spur.

Q32919 went west by Howell at 11:15 this morning with 70 cars. CSXT 3420 leading once again as a single unit for the 4th time in the last seven days. Earlier, Q32819 went east by Howell at 07:15 with 75 cars including the rail train that was on Q326 on Saturday along with its UP & NS power that was with it. Todays Q326 at Bangor had BNSF 4322 trailing CSX 44. CSX 44 lost its YN2 paint in favor of YN3b in February 2017 so its been painted for awhile.

PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
