14:25 hrs, what appears to be a very short D708 is sitting at MA in Lansing right now, perhaps waiting on a signal. They have CSXT 959, hammer head forward, with a covered hopper and three tank cars.

Edit: on the move east at 14:50

I wonder if Q326's already been recrewed or if they will wait till they get them onto the GR sub to meet a recrew?

I believe Q326 was sitting around the Michigan City siding all this time... before they hit the car I believe the plan was to meet there. The ATCS track light has been on all day between 135 and the west end, finally off. That was prolly the rear of the long train.

Bussed some, I heard that others contacted Uber to take them to the South Shore station in MC so they could take the train into downtown.
