Assumed P370 had a train meet with M327-16 at Lamar.

M327-16 should be moving by now in order to beat their 3 hour duty time 🤔. Should pass Bangor Live Cam around midnight to 2am.
M326-15(?) or M326-16(?) should arrive between midnight to 6am on Bangor Live Cam

Amtrak P371-17 @ 08:21 westward reported by the Defect Detector site mp CG91.9 St. Joseph, Mi with 16 axles (appears a change has been made to this DD site where footage isn't being reported). IDTX engine #4603 & 3 SuperLiners.

Today's very early morning M327 & M326 DD91.9 reports did include the train length being reported.

I had noticed for the DD at mp CH104.3 on the Plymouth sub-division while going thru the over night scanner archives where only the axle count was given for L304 both times.

CSX does not use dashes between the train symbol and the date, that's a railfan thing. I suspect that is why Can'tbeshook writes it that way.
