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.

Arrived at North Lansing at 09:43. Do you think they will pick up one of D708's engines depending on power availability? That would make it a trio of EMDs

Q326 just went past Glenlord Rd./Stevensville. Passenger car in the consist near the rear of the train. Only got a quick glimpse as the view from my office window is obstructed and I can only see about two carlengths of the train between two buildings.

Y121 west at Zeeland at 10:34am with 84 axles.

Dose anyone know where Q329 is??

What a three hour waste a time for the crew on Q329, even though the extra unit if needed on line didn't help somewhere for both 329 & 327 later.

When was it built by lsrc
Why do they put flat beds by the coach cars when there moving them

Q327 and E80022 are both guessed to depart their respective terminals around 5:15pm. SUnny skies out near Saugatuck.

CSXT 3367, 563 light power south at Riley St. Holland 4:32 PM.

SD40 fans: heads up. Q327 with CSXT 8849 leading was west at Zeeland at 18:25hrs with 84 cars. There is a D- or E800 just ahead of them also going west.

Something went thru Zeeland about a half hour after Q327 this evening....and now something else is whistling through at 20:50hrs. Power move?

A GRP G01021 crew taxied to Plymouth to pick up these two units and took them back west engines light to Webberville to put the Webberville grain load together. By Howell at 22:30 Thursday evening. They returned back east to Plymouth at 04:03 Friday morning with the 87 loads, along with the units that went west with the V81017 empty last Sunday. (78+5407) and tied the train down at MP25. Not sure what was wrong with the two units that came in on the empty to require additional power.

Any word on Q329?
