Appears it was around 9:19am when Q327-10 with CSX engine #7203 leading was by the DD at mp CG19.1 & did go into Waverly/Holland. From a radio call yesterday, Q327 was to have the power from Q326 the CSX #7203 + #4225 and towing the CSX #735 & CN #8911. Don't know what the 5th 4axle CSX engine is that Donnie had reported. He would then have gone into Waverly with 97 cars.
At 10:19am, Q327 has signal to depart Holland mp CG25.3

V76406 grain empty went to Webberville this afternoon, sort of. 5321+853 on the head end with 90 cars. Knowing this train was scheduled for Webberville, and never seeing the V-94407 empty that went there on May 7th come back east, it was no surprise when V764 went by the plant to run around its train that the crew called dispatch to inform them there was already a train there. Powers to be told the crew to tie down their train at Williamston, go pick up the loads and take it to Fowlerville , come back and get the empties and spot that That plan was later changed, perhaps because the first train was not even ready to move yet. So, the crew ran around it train and took their power to the plant and taxied home. So much for the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing. The single unit power that was on the first train, (735) went to Chicago on Q327 today.

D707 back at 10:00 AM. Had 15-20 cars for StoneCo. They already took a bunch of loads Friday or Saturday as well.

Potash cars for Webberville are still in Ensel as well.

Yard is the fullest it’s been in weeks.

Also, the new pair is 4035/8823 and both are facing EB currently.
