@ 10:16am Dispatch advised Q327-27 he will be meeting N800 at New Buffalo mp CG106.4

Q327-28 is currently going through Benton Harbor. Sounds like CSXT 4050 leading.

N800-28 on duty Cicero with BNSF 9075 + 9232

Q32828 went east at 06:15 with 4538+5404 and 52 cars.

Q329-28 @ 10:43am was advised by Dispatch the local police had spotted a car near the middle of their train having brakes on fire. No mile post was given yet & Q329 had said they had gone over the detector (mp CH104.3) with no alarms. The DD sites have HBD (Hot Bearing Detectors) & those scanners are rail mounted & aimed to scan the wheel bearings & usually won't detect a stuck brake unless enough particles are seen by these infra-red scanners. There are also HWD's (Hot Wheel Detectors) that have scanners usually on a small pole mount that are aimed at the area of the wheels where the brake shoes are & are deigned to detect stuck brake issues.
Q329-28 @ 10:53am was heard reported by the DD mp CH104.3 with 640 axles & 9,519 ft long & No Defects detected. CSX engines #5114 + #397 & 157 cars. (There are varying time delays when listening to the CSX radio calls on Broadcastify). Q329-28 had stopped at mp CH106.4
At 11:34am Q329 answered Dispatch stating 2 cars had been cut out & the Car Inspector is also there with them.

Has N800-27 hunkered at Grand Junction or Fenneville? Has any power been sent or called for them?

Just heard the RN tell Q327-28 that they will be going in New Buffalo for Q326-28. N800-28 should be somewhere behind Q326, so I wonder if they'll hold Q327 there for N800 as well... Q327 is around Sawyer, just leaving my scanner range.

Sounded like D801 @ 11:48am was getting ready to move N800-27 & was instructed to return to Grand Junction after he is done & meet up with N800-28.

N800-28 @ 12:02pm reported from mp CG95. Read here he has BNSF engines #9232 + #9075. Cleared the St Joseph Bridge @ 12:24pm.
Q329-28 @ 12:25pm was on the move & then was advised by Dispatch his camera shot (don't know where that is) is showing stuck brake issues with the 37th & 39th cars and is to stop his train to inspect them. The earlier trouble reported with a brake fire being seen by local police & after inspection Q329 to cut out the 100th & 120th cars in his train & now a 3rd car is to be cut out, too (don't know where in the train the 3rd car is). No mp heard yet, the plan I think I had heard was to get him into Sunfield siding.
At 13:06 Q329-28 reported no issues found with their 37th & 39th cars. Running at 8mph with Car Inspector watching their train at mp CH109.1 & at 13:38 the roll by inspection was still in progress.

N800-28 is currently going through Riverside. Sounds like BNSF 9232 leading, and that they're going to Grand Junction to tie down the train.

N800-28 @ 13:23:24 Bangor's Division St crossing mp CG60.93 with BNSF engines #9232 + #9075 & 130 loaded coal cars.

Green over red at nb Wells. No tains in sight. Also, nb Green at Bravo.

Q326-28 @ 13:42 reported from mp CG95.

It's probably lined for Q326-28. Q326 is descending the hill in St. Joseph currently with CSXT 416 leading.

Axle math works out for 2 engines & 149 cars. But, the math also works out for 4 engines & 146 cars. We need a drone out there LOL.

Ok, 2:20pm, Sat. Must be N800-28 @Grand Junction tied down on siding. Can't make out the engine #'s. No lights and broken at a crossing south of head end. Green over Red light. Assume for Q326. I must have missed the move of N800-27!

Question: Post below says pushers of N800-27, from around noon, were to return to Grand Junction for N800-28. However, might they might be assigned to push Q326? Or does Q326 have needed power today?
