E801-07 is currently going through Benton Harbor. Sounds like BNSF 6321 leading.

0917 hrs Q326 east on 2 approach Ivanrest with CSXT 8700 4826 2659 6545 2039 with 93 cars, including an Iowa Interstate lettered and logoed covered hopper, two BNSF reefers, a single NS coil car for Arlington, the usual mix of covered hoppers, and not as many boxcars as are often seen.

NOTE: I see the short line of 86' boxcars that was parked between Ivanrest and Lamar on the 3rd rail disappeared recently....I assume these were being collected for scrapping, not work?

2 covered hoppers are on the Vanden Bosch spur in Zeeland this weekend.

The 86' boxcars on the reefer track are in storage.

Looks like an EB grain train sitting idle west of Burkhart Rd in Howell. Not sure if they're waiting on a crew change or if GLC is near Ann Pere.

The loco numbers were posted on the Michigan Railfans FB page: 7320,433,817,7690,6040 and 272. From ATCS, looks like it is SB at Glenwood St. in Wayne now.
