Q328 east at Elmdale with a 3100 series Gevo leading. I believe today is the first time 328 has ever run with a DPU.

Y106 is also leaving the yard eastbound, lined into Old 17 to switch Beacon Recycling.

Would be interesting if they built Q328 with the Lansing or AnnPere setout behind the DPU, so they can just cut it off and run at Ensel or Howell, whichever the case may be. Then the Lansing crews can reset that power and airtest the train, so that Q329 can couple on, link up and go.

Granted, I figure that the pickup at Ensel is already on air, in which case it is pretty easy to pick it all up anyway.

14:25- Q328 clear MA in Lansing with a land barge and distributed power as described. Nice to see some CSXT boxcars, BN green and Soo Line hoppers in the consist.

Is there no 329 today?

Q32809, first train by Howell in 30 hours, by at 15:15 CSX 3251+7886 with 142 cars, probably much more than that before Lansing. DPU was 892 after the 77th car and before the next 65 cars. Could hear the DPU coming a good tens cars before it appeared. Highly doubt there will be any Q329 today unless they taxi a crew to Detroit to get it.

Per the Bangor chat room, Q32909 claims they are on duty in Detroit currently..have to see what ends up happening. E80008 is also supposedly on duty since 1pm but hasn't departed south from West Olive yet either.
