Amtrak P371-29 @ 08:16 westward reported by the DD mp CG91.9 with 16 axles & 308 ft. IDTX engine #4608 & 3 SuperLiners.

D706-29 @ 08:20 heard talking to Rouge Tower from Plaster Creek mp CGT 2.0 with CSXT engine #3130. Rouge had said "no matter what, you have to pick up the work train" (I'm assuming at Lansing). D706 asked how many cars will they be picking up from Lansing tomorrow on D705 & Rouge had replied "106 and growing". D706 then replied "well, I guess we'll be keeping all 3 engines". So, today I am assuming he has CSXT engines #3130 + #5371 & #5386. He was still doubling his train at this time.

Q327-29 no activity has been heard from him at this time.

E801-24 @ 08:55 westward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 532 axles & 6,883 feet long. BNSF engines #9239 + #5970 & 130 empty coal cars.

I got a text from K1NGxBONDx007 this morning saying yesterday's Q326 had de-railed in Chicago. Usually, Q326's crew becomes the next day's Q327 crew. The crew being shared for Q326 & Q327 also explains some later departure times for Q327 since it's based on what time the crew for Q326 gets off duty & must have a 10 hours rest period.

A photo provided elsewhere shows it as 3130 + 5386 + 5371. All at the head end.
