Q327 seems to drop off car(s) in Holland every night. Is D700 not handling Holland-bound cars and just working mainline industries Grandville - Arlington Metals?

Yep. Talk is they might give Buzzi Cement in Grandville to Y106 to take more work from D700.

N801-16 at Bangor mp CG60.7 @ 05:29:47 with BNSF engine #9152 + 1
Q326 with CSX #257 leading @ 08:55 is stopped on or near the St Joe Bridge to inspect his train (55th car). The DD must have actuated, since, in the radio conversation the engineer had said they would only be able to move at 10mph if a defect is found.
D700 @ 9:05am reported from Kirk siding mp CG70.2 saying they will be heading east with work in Holland. D700 was tied down in Sawyer yesterday mp CG104.6

More often than not, 700 runs out of time since they go long every day. Q327 and Q326 generally have enough time to work Holland anymore.
