Q327 reported by the DD at mp CG19.1 with CSX engines #212 + #278 & 93 cars and is diverging into Waverly/Holland mp CG23.
​N801-01 at Bangor mp CG60.7 with BNSF engine #6177 leading + 1 & 130 loaded coal cars.
Why is D801 moving 120 cars? Did 326 time out?

I think that is what had happened with Q326, I recall the dispatcher discussing crew times & saying "we'll take you as far east as we can".

​DD at mp CG44.2 reporting 520 axles @ 20:49 - that's N801-01 with his 2 added pusher engines (they should be CSX #878 + #712) & 126 cars. I made the car count correction to my earlier post for N801-01.
Q327 Bangor approach Center Street mp CG60.35 @ 21:29:24 with CSX engines #212 + #278 & 78 cars.

Q32903 had CSX 826 single unit with 38 cars this morning for my 75th birthday. At least 25 more to pick up from yesterdays D708. Q32803 had CSX 3127 single unit with 88 cars by Howell at 04:57.
Perhaps that Wisconsin & Southern Car on Q326 this morning is full of W&S people coming over to check on the Plymouth Sub. Soon to be called WS&M. (Wisconsin Southern & Michigan.
