​Q326-20 @ 8:29pm at Bangor's Division St crossing mp CG60.96
I won't be able to track Q326's progress beyond Bangor since the CSX West Michigan scanner is off line. No idea if he's to get DP added or not.
The scanner is back & it sounds like Q326-20 is getting DP added at Grand Junction siding as of 9:10pm.
Q326-20 @ 9:41pm was reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 516 axles & 7,158 feet long. Axle math works out for 2 engines 126 cars. It appears he wasn't getting DP at Grand Junction, but had instead dropped off 7 cars. Also had heard the Q326 crew talking while in Grand Junction & heard "the paperwork was left in the knuckle".
@ 10:22pm heard Q326-20 talking with D700-20 about the 7 cars he had dropped off & they're for D700.
Q326-20 @ 10:35pm was reported by the DD mp CG19.1 with his 2 engines & 126 cars.
D700-20 @ 11:09pm westward reported by the DD at mp CG44.2 with 4 axles. CSX engine #2016 lite & is picking up 7 cars from Grand Junction siding mp CG53.9 He then has work at Hartford siding mp CG68.8

From the scanner, it sounds like Y106 has CSX engine #5500 "Spirit of Cincinnati". Was thinking earlier he would be returning on today's Q327.

a lot of MOW vehicle at New Richmond this afternoon. Front end loader was moving rip-rap around, also a hi-railer on the track, and piles of ballast, ties and other boards of some kind. I drove around and did not see any obvious wash-outs, but there must have been some, or repaired already.

Probably the bridge redecking project mostly. Rip rap could be for the washouts they’re always fighting up and down that hill.

SB D735 cleared 7 Mile Rd. CSX 5244 + 5469 + 84 cars.
Earlier today, at 12:30, SB coal empties cleared 7 Mile Rd.

Thanks. The hi-railer was on the bridge part of the time. A lot of activity for New Richmond!

D700 went by Bangor tonight and stopped by the station for D802 and continued after about 5 minutes of sitting and then by gross he stopped to help D802 with their emergency stop.
