[Raildudes dad]

Yup, got the wakeup call abpout 5:30ish The 24 was on the move at about 6 but just from the main back to the track next to the engine house. They must have started it ysterdsay morning to warm it up to move it to the main to work on it. It was blue flagged about 11. The P42 will be leading 371 this morning.

I heard them going through Ada around 9am. My first job was at 9am near Honey Creek Rd and Conservation. As soon as I stepped out of my car I heard them blowing through town to the south. They must have been heading back to GR already. hmmm...

[SD80MAC]

Saw Q335 go by Breton around 5:45 p.m. Had a standard cab Dash 8 paired with a wide cab Dash 8, and a pretty long train.

I was at a job near Breton and 28th and heard them blowing around that time while I was outside taking pics. Ugly sounding horn, that's for sure.

Yeah, wasn't the best.

Yeah, their train backed-up the traffic on main street here for almost 3/4 of a mile! A long train like Q335 with the 10mph limit up the Grand Rapids Wye doesn't help commuters here!

Busy night at Wyoming Yard this evening! Arrived at Judd St. just after 7 pm. Q33501 was waiting just to the east at Plaster Creek, while 2 sets of switch engines (RCOs?) shuttled around the yard: CSX 1177/9248 and 1139/9249. Finally they paused long enough for 335 to enter the yard just before 19:30. Power was CSX 289, and there were 107 cars. The switchers went back to work, and then Q32701 showed up. It halted at the same spot as 335 had, while the switchers broke apart 335. Just after 20:00 327 came into the yard. Power was CSX 8096 / 8581, and there were 21 cars.

Over at the service track were CSX 7743 + 7544, and 9161.

I took off around 20:05. Then I heard X500 on the scanner; saw it at 20:15 in Jenison just off I-196 & Chicago Dr. CP 8626 was leading 66 cars (64 empty autoracks, a lone double stack as rsinoms mentioned, and a tanker).

Well good to know that we were all in the 28th and Breton Road area at the same time.

Of note, Z15101 has been annulled.
