W990? is currently going by Gray. Sounds like CSXT 4067 leading.

Ahh. That's what I heard this morning. Thought it was a late D707 or perhaps a later than normal Q328.

Q32913 by Howell at 09:25 with CSX 4000+3029 and 69 cars. Has at least 55 more to pick at Lansing from yesterdays D70812. Q329 met W99012, CSX 4067 at Fowlerville and was by Howell at 10:00 with the special loads for Port Huron. Q32813 went east at 7:14 with CSX 5445+202 and 129 cars, Trailing unit was actually 7200, a new rebuild from Erie, but was 202 prior to that. 1st 7200 series CSX unit I have seen since last seeing 7266, a U30C that was retired in 1992 but seen on 2-5-95 still in existence in Corbin Ky., by Chessieforever and I.

Last night’s D708 headed back to Ensel from the East. I’m facing West on Kalamazoo street where it turns north for a spell and then merges with the JAIL line.

Two things to note about the engines on 329 this morning, 4000 was the first SD40-3 rebuild churned out by CSX's Huntington shops, and the trailing unit, 3029, was used to film a GE commercial back in 2012.

D70813, CSX 4061+4033, among other cars for GLC at Ann Pere awhile ago, had that old Amtrak passenger car that was on Q326 recently. They are currently on their way back to Lansing with around 35 cars for Saturday's Q329 pick up. They also cleared out all of misc., cars at Webberville which had to be done before the empty grain train sitting at Beck Road Plymouth can come west and get a crew for it. Whatever the train number and power was for this train or how long it has been sitting there remains unknown.

Q326 onto the CSX at Porter 0612. Sound like a Gevo+1 on lead.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.

@00:49:13am ET east bound loaded coal train with 2 BNSF engines and 130 loaded coal cars arriving Bangor Michigan MP 60.72
@02:32:35am ET west bound D700 CSX 4077 with 11 cars arriving Bangor Michigan MP 60.72
@04:08:55am ET east bound D700 CSX 4077 with 11 cars arriving Bangor Michigan MP 60.72
@07:29:08am ET AMTK 371 SC44 #4613 with 4 super liners arriving Bangor Michigan MP 60.35
@08:35:45am ET east bound Q326 CSX 3029 & CSX 4000 with 115 cars arriving Bangor Michigan MP 60.35

​D800 was telling N800 that Q326 was going to drop off 33 cars at Wells siding, then D800 and the coal train were going to get in behind Q326 to follow up Saugatuck Hill, then Q326 will come back for the remainder. Q326 could not use pushers because the last 15 cars were hazmat
