Q335-18 was WB at CH 81.2 (Okemos Station) at 7:52 am. 428 axles before it hit Ensel.

Immediately after it cleared, the Calumet City dispatcher gave a maintainer authority to occupy the main in both directions from East End Trowbridge to Beck Road until 1300. So don't expect any action for the next few hours...

Saw D80218 and D80318 during my lunch today pulling a coal load to West Olive..took them approx 35 minutes from where the headend was going past the holland depot till the rear end went by Greenly St(i like that spot to sit, it's where the power block and roost block are separated)

Q32719 reached Hagadorn Road, East Lansing (CH 83-ish) at 6:27pm. It was held at Ensel due to malfunctioning gates at three crossings west of Lansing; I'm not sure when it got moving again, but it was after 7:30pm.



Power was CSX 7516 and GCFX 3089.
