7010 has DPU, so they might use that set.

Per Bangor chat, as of 9:35am, Q326 was at Sawyer, q327 at Hartford, d702 somewhere around Holland.
no coal loads or empties due into/out of west olive for a bit. D706 made an early morning run, and d705 is due out this afternoon from Detroit.

As reported earlier, D706 ran early this morning and they did swap power with yesterdays Q326 & D705. I should have known they would have "had a reason" for letting power from Chicago go through to Detroit. D706 by Howell at 06:18 with 377+80 and 108 cars.
