Something stopped in Wayne/Westland, blocking Cherry Hill, Palmer, and Glenwood Roads. Looked like mix of covered hoppers and boxcars. Not sure of direction when it was moving.

Csx 4291 switching reefers at Twin City in Lake Odessa. Looks like they are picking up 5 and dropping off 4. Looks like at least one at the plant not being switched. No other cars today. Only handling the reefers in the train.

An E800 with what sounds like BNSF 5742 leading just got the EC1 to head towards Holland from West Olive.

A westbound is between Fox and Elmdale currenlty.

Amtrak P371-09 arrived into Chicago a few minutes late this morning. Should have had AMTK 64, 3 superliners, and AMTK 36 trail.

Y121-09 with CSXT 2692 leading east is currently getting a EC1 to Harlem and back.

E800 west at Saugatuck at 18:09.

Some eastbound is lined up into Fox Siding at the west end. Looks like a westbound train (this Y106?) is between EE Fox and WE Elmdale, with signals lining up eastbound behind it (probably for the train going into siding when it gets released).

18:08 - Y106 westbound Approach Limited Thornapple.
18:10 - Was a perfect meet, neither train had to stop. Sounds like the eastbound is light power. Eastbound Slow Clear EE Fox 18:16.

EDIT - Sounds like the eastbound light power is the K--- headed to Webberville to pick up the train... CSXT 7748 currently leading. At 137.0 at 18:30 ET.

E800 with BNSF 5742 leading west is going through Stevensville at around 20:25 ET.

P370-09 with AMTK 64 leading east is at 131.3 DD at 20:32 ET. 16 axles, 312 feet... First time I've heard 16 axles in a while.

21:09 ET - Amtrak P370-09 eastbound has a clear indication at Stevensville.
21:13 ET - At 91.9 DD. 16 axles, 305 feet.
21:14 ET - Clear indication at Hilltop.

Sounds like they're working car 3 in St. Joseph tonight, so must only be one engine and no NPCU. Will have to wye the train tonight or in morning in GR...
