I don't know where E800 is, I don't think it is still in Riverside.
Track inspectors have fixed the broken rail in the crossing, now have to repatch the crossing to make it passable for civilian traffic. I believe it is the Riverside Rd. crossing.
RN says Amtrak (P370) will probably show up at Porter in about an hour.

Clear signal at EE Brighton, something is coming westbound, I'm guessing D705-14.

Will let y'all know when it comes thru.
D705-14 cleared Brighton, I didn't catch the loco number but there's one up front and 3450 as DPU in the middle.

P370-14 departed St. Joseph at 9:35 pm and is currently going through Benton Harbor. Sounds like IDTX 4615 leading.

Q326-15 is currently going through Hartford. Sounds like CSXT 804 leading.
Also sounds like they have a false-partial activation at 64th St. in Holland. I'm not sure what kind of gates they have there, but I know that those really long crossing gates don't like the wind we're having today across West MI.

Haven't caught the symbol yet, (I think D70x?) is missing 5 cars, they're looking into it now. Had a count of 131 at Fox but their paperwork says they should have 136.

N801-14 is currently going through Benton Harbor. Sounds like BNSF 6086 leading.
Still an activation failure at 64th st. CG 67.5, not at Holland as I first thought. I can't find a 64th St. crossing near Hartford.
High wind warning CGC 23.4 to CGC 34.5 on the Fremont Sub. Winds between 55 mph and 60 mph.

N800-15 is currently going through Benton Harbor. Sounds like BNSF 8791 leading.
Sounds like they are holding up at Riverside until P370 goes through, then on to Grand Junction, unless D801 is still there (power from N801 had to help Q326 up the hill at East Saugatuck earlier.) If D801 is still at Grand Junction, they will take their train to Kirk.

P370-15 with IDTX 4615 is now at Watervliet.
N800 has the signal at Riverside and is now heading east to Wells, where they will park their train and not break it up.
