Z151-01 @ 09:48 Grand Rapids, Mi job briefing with the RN Dispatcher: MQT #3408 leading & 87 cars & an EC1 copied for mp CGE 3.6 / Fuller. The 87 cars had caught my attention & wondering if these cars are for another Grain train. He was told he's good to Plaster Creek so far & Dispatcher had also said "87, I'll let them know". A review of the overnight channel 1414 scanner archives didn't have any EC1 activity for a Grain train arriving to Grand Rapids.
Update: at 10:32am Z151 was talking to Rouge Tower about yarding their train & Rouge had replied "I hope they fit".

Q327-01 @ 09:54 westward reported by the DD mp CG91.9 St Joseph, Mi with 308 axles & 4,207 feet long.

19:58 - L303 crossing over US-23 (CH 43), I just missed the head end as I was getting off the highway.
Green Oak DD (CH 39.1) reports 360 axles at nearly 5,000', I failed to write down the exact number but know it was in the high 4,000's.
