Q32803, late getting out of GRP this morning due to a heavily tonnage train, went east by Howell at 08:33. After 93 cars yesterday, 91 more today including the six auto racks that were on Fridays Q326 into GRP. Then, there was a group of four, and then two, but all were together this morning. Power was CSX 13+238. Earlier, Q32903 went west at 07:27 with CSX 468+5463 but only 14 cars, 329 has not had many cars out of Detroit since the cold wave caused cancelations. No pick up in Lansing so they should be early into GRP this morning.

Power was 3317+3036. 329 met 328 in Fowlerville at 07:40. 32804 had CSX 460+9037 with all of five cars. They could have more than doubled that if that had brought the six racks with them that was on Q326 yesterday

Pusher engines BNSF 6347 + 6203 were to return to Wells to couple with Q326 but have a traction motor problem @ 12:50pm and Q326 still sitting @ Grand Junction. The BNSF pushers are to go into Suagatuck siding mp CG33 @ 13:16 & wait for a repair truck to arrive - Q326 is still sitting at Grand Junction.
Q326 at Pullman mp CG48 @ 13:30:41

[Tlout]

BNSF 5929, 9151 north at Riley St. 1:25 PM approx. No pushers.

[Tom49801]

Q326 being told to tie down at Saugatuck mp CG33 @ 14:30 and grab the BNSF 6347 to use as a single pusher engine since BNSF pusher #6203 has a locked up axle.
