D702-29 @ 09:28 westward Holland Hamilton Branch mp CG25.3 with CSXT engine #2782 & 5 cars (1 CH + 2 tanks + 2 loaded lumber cars).

Q327-29 @ 09:32 westward on the Main Track, Holland Depot mp CG25.3 with CSXT engines #377 + #80 & 151 cars. Original report was he'd be picking up 70 cars from Holland then heard the engineer saying to someone he has 151 cars (would make for a 72 car pick up instead of 70 cars from Holland - will be confirmed by the DD44.2 report).
