Took off around 8:30 this morning when I saw X500 meeting Amtrak at Waverly in Holland. Called Mr Hall, let him know we had three eastbounds coming into a cloudless sunny sky, and out he came too. I went down to Jenison for all three, varying up the shots. First up was CP X50023 with CP 8736 as the single unit, a few boxcars on the headend, lots of autoracks with a couple straglers in the middle.
D70023 was next up..they had already made their pickup in Holland on the way west late at night, and came through with CSXT 2517 leading...woot woot was trailing, surprised to see me out this morning, as I seeing him was also surprising.
CSX Q32624 was next up, having gotten a red at Hudsonville, then banner tested, we watched them head through Jenison from a perch up where westbound I-196 used to be. CSXT 8833 leading.
Y320 came in during this time, followed by Q335 around 11am.
Enjoyed those two hours of fanning with three good eastbounds.

E44623 - at GR...not sure which one of these two symbol's they'll use..doubt there are two eastern trains up here.
E44624 - hasn't left GR yet for KY.

Also, NS pulled lots of their boxcars out of storage from the Steelcase spur near 36th St
JT and Gregg are bumming around Lansing, while Trussell and Trussell Jr are down in New Carlisle with NS.
