P370-20 is currently going through Benton Harbor. Sounds like IDTX 4619 leading.

Interesting. Q32821 went east by Howell at 06:51 with CSX 819+367 and 118 cars, and Q32921 far later than he was early yesterday was just by Howell at 11;50 with CSX 48 leading, and 367 trailing, which was the traiing unit on 328 as well, and 64 cars. Yesterday's Q328 had 48+5379, so something happened somewhere to cause this power swap around Plymouth. 5379 could be have been the trailing unit out of Detroit as well before the power swap.

Q328 was instructed to set off 367 at beck rd as 329 sat at Eccles rd with single unit to pick up 367 and set off at Lansing for grain train in Webberville.

Q32922 by Howell at 08:42 with a pair of EMD units, 8849+4061 with 82 cars. Crew says they don't have a enough power to make a Lansing pickup. Q32822 went east at 04:46 with 7851+125 and 113 cars. Unit 367 that was the trailing unit on 328 yesterday, that was set off at Plymouth so 329 could pick it up and set it off at Lansing for a Webberville grain train went all the way to Chicago on 327 last night.
