Ok, need some help. What’s JPB ?

Michigan Shore MMRR 2019 with 5 tankers north at Riley St. Holland 11:18 AM.

JPB ....Just Passed By....aka OS'd. (good a guess as any I reckon.)

At 11:27am, ​DD at mp CG91.9 reporting Q326 with 429 axles (+1 count error) & 6,268 feet long. Axle math for 428 = ​2 engines & 104 cars, sounded like UP #5340 is in the lead.
Q326 reporting by Paw Paw mp CG85 @ 11:43am & by Riverside mp CG80.1 @ 11:54am
D700 reporting by Grey mp CG82.8 westbound @ 11:58am

CSXT light power south at Riley St. Holland 12:20 approx. (Probably pushers for Q326).

​Q326 arrived Bangor mp CG60.7 @ 12:30:10 with Union Pacific engines 5340 & 4087 and 104 cars. Will either stop at Grand Junction mp CG53.9 or Wells mp CG41.4 for pusher engines.
Q326 arrived Pullman mp CG48 @ 12:50:34 without pusher engines added - getting pushers added north at Wells.

Thought sure there would be somebody out there who knew what those initials stood for, but for now, will just let it go at that. D708 currently in town setting off more cars for GLC in the Howell pass, with CSX 4032-8141. They keep adding cars for the 4th day in a row, but GLC has not picked up any since last Thursday. There is at lease room for more. Instead off setting of 50-60 off at one time like they sometimes do, its been more like 15 a day.

At 2:50pm, train on the defect detector at mile post CG91.9 with 528 axles & 6,907 feet long. Could be N800 or N801 since a loaded coal was spotted passing thru Bangor mp CG60.7 this morning that held up Amtrak's Bangor arrival.

D700 just finished switching Standard lumber and is returning to it's train west of Grandville.

N800, the loaded coal train arrived Bangor mp CG60.7 @ 15:53:27 with BNSF 5822 + 1 (couldn't read the 2nd BNFS engine #) & 129 cars. Will be stopping at Wells mp CG41.4 to get his pusher engines.

There was a GEVO making noise in downtown GR just a couple minutes ago. The scanner is yielding no results. Q328 maybe?
