Hi ya Donnie, I think Q327 will be leaving the CSX #2652 engine at Holland. That engine had arrived on yesterday's Q326 & I had heard that was to be a yard engine for Holland.

Of course they do this morning.

Q326-01 @ 10:46am eastward reported by the DD mp CG91.9 with 328 axles & 4,413 feet long. CSX #3423 + #5218 & 79 cars.
Q327-01 @ 10:48am westward Bangor mp CG60.72 with CSX engines #3395 + #6394 & 27 cars & rear CSX engine #817 (cam was down for YouTube feed - control site was ok to view the train).

Q326-01 @ 11:01am eastward cleared the St Joseph Bridge.
Q327-01 @ 11:12am westward reported from the west end of Kirk mp CG72.3

Q326-01 is currently headed east at Riverside after meeting Q327-01 there. CSXT 3423 leading.
Q327-01 is now at Gray.

Apparently 327 encounteredcsome downed trees this AM. RN just instructed 326 to watch out for more fallen trees.

Q327-01 is currently going through St. Joseph, clearing the bridge at 11:46 am. CSXT 3395 leading.
Q326-01 is currently going through Coloma. CSXT 3324 leading.
Apparently there are downed trees in Southern Berrien County (I have been getting interference on the CSX dispatcher channel on my scanner about trees blocking roads, and the RN told Q327 to watch out for fallen trees.)
Also, large electrical poles along the right-of-way between Coloma and Riverside have been reported as leaning over the tracks. The poles follow the tracks from Benton Harbor to Coloma.

SB coal empties approaching Middle River. CSX 80 + 5256.

Q326-01 @ 12:14:26pm Bangor mp CG60.72 with CSX engines #3423 + #5218 & 79 cars. He's going non-stop to Grand Rapids.

V94428 with CSX 5461+5221 that SW reported parked at Lilly Road in Plymouth several days finally went by Howell at 20:41 last night. Crew had all 85 cars tucked into the elevator at Webberville with the switch lined and locked for the main and derail restored by 00:17, still prior to the time change.

Q326-01 @ 1:50pm eastward reported by the DD mp CG19.1 with 328 axles & 4,631 feet long. CSX #3423 + #5218 & 79 cars (he had no set offs today).

West Olive empties south at Riley St. Holland 2:24 PM. 2 CSX units followed by 2 BNSF units. The BNSF Heritage unit is the 3rd unit.

D801-31 @ 3:45pm westward reported from mp CG28 with CSX engines #7630 + #579 & BNSF engines #5872 + #8560. He's probably taking the empty coal train into Wells siding mp CG41.4
D801-31 @ 4:21pm westward has his signal, main to siding, east end of Wells mp CG41.4 he will then cut the 2 CSX engines away & tie them down at the east end of Grand Junction siding mp CG53.9

WB D705 just cleared Plymouth. CSX 3329 + 595 + 193 cars. DPU CSX 751 after 96th car.

As of 5 pm, the signals at Kirk were all red, so the coal empties that Tlout reported earlier were not yet lined through.
I checked out the broken poles near CG 78.3 between Coloma and Riverside and got some photos.
We have been under high wind warnings all day here in SW MI.
Dicastel, (formerly APL Logistics) does not get rail service. CSX uses their siding occasionally to store M.O.W. equipment. You can see the switch in the first photo.
