GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.

Maybe a BNSF unit on an inbound or outbound coal train? Just a guess. Not sure where you are located to be hearing it.

Bob. Do you have a list of the grain trains this year for Webberville and Grand Ledge by chance?

Q327-01 @ 10:43:00am westward Bangor's Center St crossing mp CG60.35 with CSXT engines #377 + #80 & 137 cars. Meeting Q326 at Riverside mp CG80.1 & Q326 has the same CN engines #2866 + #3211 that were on yesterday's Q327.
Sounds like Q326 is having issues with his EOT and Q327 might be assisting him with a reset when they meet up.

That wouldn't be hard to compile if you go thru the boards since January, would be a bit tedious though.
I'd be happy to do it once the semester's over, gotta finish these last couple days tho.

More than half of the 102 cars on D70501 was stone and rip rap rock. Correct on the locomotive numbers by Andrew, 530+7010 both units facing west.

While Amesssman suggests going through all four month of the Train Locations to find out, it was far faster to look at my daily log sheets. Beside that, I do not post all trains I see when others near by post the same train info seen only miles away from me.

1-06-21: V71302 to Webberville returned as G71308 but departed with a recrew as G90708 on the 8th
1-24-21: V764 to Webberville, returned as G76425 on the 26th
1-29-21: V71427 to Grand Ledge, returned as G71423 on Feb, 24th
1-31-21: V713 to Webberville, returned as G713 on Feb 4th ?
2-13-21: V47711 to Webberville returned as G76415, but left with a recrew as G097 on the 20th.
3-04-21: V81002 to Webberville returned as G76404 on the 5th
3-25-21: V76422 to Webberville returned as G76427 on the 27th
3-26-21: V86826 to Webberville returned as G86829 on the 29th
4-16-21: V76414 to Webberville returned as G76418 on the 18th
4-19-21: V72818 to Newaygo returned as G765 on the 27th
4-25-21: V76424 to Webberville returned as G76426 on the 27th
4-26-21: V70622 to Grand Ledge returned as G75827 on the 28th
4-28-21 V76421 to Webberville has not returned
