G778 clear Godfrey 1137
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

G778 medium clear Seymour. The switch wouldn’t lock up after 329 went by and they had to wait on a maintainer to fix it. Grinding east now.

No one in GR (ok, maybe 1 or 2 people at this point) is qualified to Toledo anymore. There is not enough consistent Toledo-GR traffic anymore to warrant keeping crews qualified south of Plymouth.

Q32925 by Howell at 08:22 with CSX 35+8830, returning power from yesterdays Q328 and 47 cars. Q32825 west east at 06:15 with a long train, well over 100 cars. Power would have been either 292+3326 from yesterdays Q326, or, 5384+397 from yesterdays Q329. (whichever doesn't go on todays Q327) Missed the train because I wanted to be first in line at 06:00 to get Paczki's, which I was, and got 14 which should last well into tomorrow. Train was honking for Highlander Way crossing when I walked out of the bakery, but still going by the house when I got home.
