Bob, should be Q32815. Old habits with the q384 reference eh? :)
q32915 near Elmdale westbound, by MP126 detector with 308 axles and 4477', with Y106 on the main at Fox, having Q329 run around them through the siding.
q32615 going east through Coloma as of 1:25pm.

Q32615 east at Bangor at 1:47pm, CSXT 5474 and CSXT 594 leading 77 cars.

P370-15 is currently stopped in St. Joseph, near Upton Drive. Sounds like AMTK 207 leading, and PTC isn't cooperating.

Q32916 by Howell at 07:57, within two minutes of yesterdays time. CSXT 209+7661 with 72 cars. Q32816 was early, by at 06:08. CSX 5474+594 with 67 cars. Cant believe I called yesterdays Q328 as Q384. At least I didn't call it Q334. Have made the change. Thanks "Z".

Sounds like Q329 hit a vehicle at Hastings Rd east of Lake Odessa, no injuries to the train crew, not sure about the driver.

I have been too busy to pay attention to trains for the last few weeks. When did they activate PTC?
