P371 passes M327 in Grandville. Didn’t get the leader on P371 (since it’s probably the same one front last night) but M327 had 3347 solo up front, assuming there’s a DPU somewhere in the mix.

From the looks of it this morning‘s train it will be making a stop in Coloma Michigan to drop off 2 box cars. On the way back east there should be a stop at Standale lumber in Grandville Michigan to drop off 2 loaded center beam flat cars. The WMI in Hartford Michigan should be receiving 1 refrigerated box car numerous tank cars and covered hoppers. On the end of the train there were coil cars bound for Arlington Metals in Sawyer Michigan.
