Q327 was reported by the DD at mp CG19.1 @ 19:41 with CSX #5289 + 1 & 121 cars. 2nd engine most likely #162 - both of those were on Q329 today.
Q327 arrived Pullman mp CG48 @ 20:26
Q327 arrived Bangor mp CG60.7 @ 20:41:59 Sounds like Q327 will wait at Benton Harbor for Amtrak to pass.

P370-22 is currently around Paw Paw Ave. Sounds like IDTX 4613 leading.
Q327-22 is now heading west into St. Joseph. Sounds like CSXT 5289 leading.

Keep an eye on the Bangor cam today. If the paperwork got taken care of, D700 is supposed to be taking GLLX SW9 #4 to the West Michigan in Hartford.

2 engines @ the switcher at the Bangor cam @ 08:33:26 Because of the sun, couldn't read any of the engine #'s. There were no freight cars. Is the switcher going in for repairs or just being moved to another location?

The switcher is joining the rest of the GLLX fleet on the West Michigan. It was previously leased to CHS in Wayland on the Grand Elk.

Thusly Master James takes a locomotive from his Wayland neighborhood on his train to Hartford. NEAT! CHS is just up the street from his homesite. That is if he is working this fine day.

Thanks -Z-. Q328 by Howell at 10:46 with CSX 3157+356 and 126 cars. I see I made a typo on the lead of Q329. It was UP 2586, not 2386.
