I was out today around the time I hear Q329 reporting from Lake Odessa. Usually, Q329's engines go onto Q327 & we'll hear Q327 getting his train together in Grand Rapids around 5pm. Will have an idea for at least 1 of Q329's engines around that time.

Q32923 by Howell at 08:35 with CSX 84 single unit and 58 cars. Q32823 went east at 06:41 with CSX 3040+5302 and 123 cars. 48 stone empties on the rear. Should be getting close to the end of the stone season.

Thanks for your concern -Z- (along with some other nice compliments from others) as I only just saw your PM when I logged in this morning. Gone for two weeks, all via Amtrak, which I should do a trip report on for it was an interesting trip that took me east to Boston on Amtrak Lake Shore 48 after going to Chicago first out of Ann Arbor, which there was a reason for going this route. First Amtrak trip ever heading east.
