Crew #3 for yesterdays D706 arrived at Silver Lake Road in Green Oak at 03:00 and was on its way east to South Lyon and onto Detroit by 03:25. Hope Driver Jon did not patiently wait to long for the light to turn green.

@ 10:10am Dispatcher advised a CSX work crew wanting time at Riverside mp CG80.1 to change out a rail they'll have to wait until Q326-19 passes by them & also had said Q327-19 won't be arriving. No idea what happened with Q327 inside Holland.
Also, D801-18 with a solo engine (probably CSX #579) is at Grand Junction siding mp CG53.9 to move N800-18 that had tied down there yesterday into Wells siding mp CG43.3 & will then break the train in half there to get it over Saugatuck Hill.
N800-19 will tie down inside of Grand Junction.
@ 10:28am change in plans, N800-19's engines will be used to move N800-18 over Saugatuck Hill (still waiting for N800-19 to go by Bangor).

Per ATCS: What I’m guessing is D705 is probably approaching the Thornapple River, he’s lined all the way through Fox on the main.

How can there be a D705 that everybody between there and Detroit missed?

What ATCS kit are you using? I didn't think any of CSX in Michigan had ATCS anymore.

Max mistook Y106 for D705. CSX has ATCS active between Seymour and Lake Odessa on the Plymouth sub, see the ATCS thread on the Railfanning Information sub-forum for more info.

Q327-19 @ 2:20pm westward reported from mp CG36. Last word was he's to go into Wells siding mp CG41.4 to be re-crewed. Don't know if the new crew is there or en-route to Wells, or a new crew is already on board from his Holland departure.
(Interesting note, SD80MAC's last post at 1:49pm = 8564 total posts & today's N800-19 had BNSF #8564 leading). :)
Q327-19 @ 2:42pm westward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 712 axles & 9,551 feet long. CSX engines #3329 + #916 & 175 cars (don't know if the #916 is a DPU).
Q327-19 @ 3:03:07pm westward Bangor Station mp CG60.5 with CSX engine #3329 + mid CSX engine #916 & 175 total cars.
Q326-19 @ 3:19pm eastward reported from mp CG32 with CSX #989 & 73 cars & rear CSX #913.

What happened with 327? First it sounded like it was killed at Holland, not to move again today. And now it’s on the roll again?
