Between 20:00 and 21:00, MTs and Q327 went thru downtown St. Joe. P370 passed later. Another WB freight was going thru downtown at around 03:30, guessing MTs.

There were 5 engines on what I figured was 326 (EB) around 4:30pm; it was blocking 64th, north of East Saugatuck, so I had to find an alternate route to the New Richmond cemetery. It was gone by the time I returned.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Been rail fanning in Chesterton/Porter, IN. Lots of trains, as always. I wonder what time they released Q327: before or after NB Amtrak. Now 8:45 EDT. So I wonder if went through here already? Or not...

Forgot to post, but as of Sunday afternoon a tie/mow train was tied down/cut in Livingston siding. Not sure if it had any power attached.
