Note: M327-08 cannot build his train today until M326-08 arrives Grand Rapids. Are you just mentioning this or is there an M327 crew waiting in Grand Rapids? Tom is saying that M327 can not make their trip without getting the engines from M326 from Chicago. There isn’t enough power to send out Ther...

. Note: M327-07 cannot start building his train until today's M326-07 arrives Grand Rapids. Heard it's possible the M326-07 will be returning with the CSX engine #3194 (Spirit of our Law Enforcement unit). Why? Lack of motive power? Definitely, CSX seems to only keep exactly enough power in the Wyo...

Sounds like the SRI plans to run the NPE without 1225 due to the running gear rebuild. Sounds like the plan is to have it pulled by diesels.

Obviously no one knows for certain how this trains schedule will go, but even if it arrives in GR 2 hours or more early is it still likely that it leaves between 6-7 am on Thursday?

Hearing something at Hall st. at 1:18 probably L303

CSX train down the Hamilton branch with two loaded lumber cars and a tank car. I believe it was Y121, but I'm not certain that is the correct number

L302 at hall st. 14:50

M326 eastward past the Holland station @ 4:14

Muskegon area?

If I were in downtown Muskegon and someone asked if the photo location was nearby, I'd say it's close enough, within 30 mins at least.

Biking or driving?

M326 at the Holland Depot 1:30, had another auto rack in the consist. Otherwise it was the standard of lots of hoppers and boxcars, a bunch tank cars, and a handful of centerbeams

When did the St. Joes bridge work curfew begin and when is it supposed to end?

Also L303 at hall st. at 14:25

L301 met p370 at grandville at 11

Y106 westward at hall st

Sounds like someone was waiting for him to clear the wye


1:05 L303 headed east cleared Godfrey


1:10 L303 at hall st

L303 (I think) at hall st very short train for the sounds of it

GLC green light across the diamond in Howell

8:25 Heard a horn in the distance from Hall st. I'm assuming that is M327 spinning their engines. Probably going back to Grandville now would be my guess. Hopefully Tom hears something to confirm or correct me
