Heard a Q299 in the Plymouth area, with CSX 398 leading, loud and clear. Except they didn't indicate direction. Looks like (from the wiki) it normally goes from PA to Toledo.

Currently in Fennville waiting for 327 when I saw your post Steven, as you have mentioned there are loaded trains in both sidings, engine 6311 is the leader on this first train at Wells, there are Green Signals at both ends of Wells. I’m just gonna hang tight in Fennville since it sounds like things might pick up. I would guess they would grab the first Train at Wells, but I bet that Amtrak would be the deciding factor so that a meet is executed without delaying them. Doubtful that 327 will make it past both of these trains to meet P370 at Benton Harbor.

Standing by at Fennville...

P370-03 is currently going through Riverside. Sounds like IDTX 4603 leading.
Q327-03 is currently going through St. Joseph. Sounds like CSXT 913 leading.

P370 is running late, and Q327 had to wait east of Paw Paw Ave for them, so they did make it to the double track and had a short delay.
