That must be what is going thru Vine now. No scanner. Guess I'll have to tune into the super scanner!

A Toledo source indicates that 322 today has three (3) SD-70M's for Lake State tucked behind its engines. Blue with CITX markings. 3rd train in line to come out. No engine numbers available.

Q326 is just arriving into GR right now. On track 2 appears to be D700 with the lone unit LHF at the west end of the train, parked just shy of the Barrett St crossing in Grandville. Third time in a row over the past month that I've been shopping at the Corner Record Shop in Grandville and a train has rolled by. Maybe I should shop here more often. :D

The M322 Steve reported came by downtown Wixom (North Lincoln to CSX) about 20-30 minutes after Steve saw it. Currently sitting just south of Lorien Drive (Buno Road on the actual road signs). After some thick brush and gate hopping, some nice photo opps in the evening light. Sun may be a problem for some. Doesn't look like he'll be moving anytime soon, scanner traffic has been nothing recently, and the crew is just chilling eating dinner in the cab. Earlier the conductor was walking alongside the train.

Looks like M322 has received a green indication at North Wixom to continue to McGrew Yard. I will listen for the defect detector.
