Q32726 cleared Plymouth diamond at 14:40. CSX 13 & 5006, 39 cars. A flagman at Sheldon Rd saw what looked like an open brake piston 10 cars from the rear of the train so he told 'em and they stopped at Beck to take a look. I think it is moving again.

At 4:45pm D717 came into North Yard powered by CSX 2622 (GP38-2) (I think), and then at 5:05pm, there was a southbound grain extra through here from Flint. I didn't get the symbol but it was CSX 5249 (ES44DC) leading and CSX 4558 (SD70MAC) (I think) trailing. This train was interesting because every hopper on it was Cargill.

Any idea if they are a regular Saturday thing or they could run any day of the week?

A Q? Isn't it supposed to be a G? But anyways; it seems like they have been running alot of coal and grain trains to and from Flint lately.

You're right, Chris. They were G35223 and G35224, as Gridejq said. I did manage to report them correctly in the shoutbox.
