I don't pay attention much to 301's movements. Did they do some work in Holland? I caught the tail end of the train on the webcam passing the depot and there were at least two empty lumber cars, which I don't see on the train in Andy's video.

And will they be going into the siding at E. Saugatuck to let 326 pass?

Hi J T, yes L301 had gone into Waverly/Holland for work there (pretty common for them to do so before continuing on westward ) & they had waiting on M326 to pass by them before departing Holland. On L301's return trip eastward, he will at times have work for Standale Lumber in Grandville at mp CG6.5

Ok, so 326 is already through Holland? I've been checking the Holland cam and still hadn't seen them go by.
