It was stated on the other board that Detroit-Chicago traffic was now (or sometime in the near future apparently) going to be rerouted via Grand Rapids.

Could this be the reason for a very large 177 car M-327?

Chicago-Detroit traffic has always moved via Grand Rapids. There will just be more of it.
