I headed down to Holly around 3:00pm to watch trains, and as soon as I got to Holly, I heard a train. I figured it was probably CN, so I drove to Fenton to catch it. I got there just before it was about to enter town.
After the CN, it was about an hour until Q321 came, with a BNSF warbonnet and a BNSF leading. I caught it at Lahring Road north of Holly.

It seems like over half of Q321 was LPG tank cars. Is Q321 a northbound train?

Yes, the "warbonnets" in the 700 and 4700 series' are actually known as "fauxbonnets" or "fakebonnets."
Screw the trains, I come for the fighting.

I used the term to mean "a crappy warbonnet", not for the technical term. For instance, you cannot "derail" a thread.

Q321 is a soutbound. Flint to Toledo Stanley.
Then the LPG tank cars were most likely loads from the Port Huron area (or mty's going somewhere for storage). I would guess mty's because it is pretty warm out so I do not think there is a high demand for LPG

They are probably loads as there are LPG tanks on Q321 and Q322 every day it runs, there are days though that there are more tanks than usual.
