E801-01 advised by Disptacher @ around 15:15 he is to go into Sawyer Siding mp CG104.6 to allow N800-03 to pass. N800-03 reported to be in Michigan City @ 15:14
N800-03 cleared the St Joseph Bridge @ 16:23
​N800-03 at Bangor mp CG60.7 @ 17:15:35 with BNSF engines #6260 + 1 & 130 loaded coal cars. Going to Grand Junction siding to get his pusher engines.
Q327 reported by the DD at mp CG19.1 @ 17:59 with 388 axles & 5,464 feet long. CSX engine #3207 + 1 & 94 cars. Q327 has CSX engine #3207 that had ran solo on today's Q329. The DD's axle math didn't work out for a single engine, but, did for 2 engines & 94 cars. No idea what the 2nd engine is. He's working Holland tonite.
N800-03 on the move from Grand Junction siding with 2 pusher engines added & was reported by the DD at mp CG44.2 @ 18:51 (Q327 is still in Holland).

My guess is that CSX 591, the trailing unit on Q326 today will return to Chicago with 3207, and 8873 will run solo on Q328 in the morning, especially with the last two 326 trains being short. If the units on 327 are both facing the same direction, that should be it.

Thank you, hopefully I'll be able to get a look at 2nd engine's # with the cam but usually no luck once it's dark. Q327 is moving onto the main at Holland mp CG25.3 @ 19:37

Q327 Bangor mp CG60.7 approach @ 20:36:30 with CSX engines #3207 + 1 & 85 cars. Tried over & over even at 1/4 playback speed and using a magnifying glass & couldn't determine the 2nd engine #. It appeared to be a 4 digit number, but, who knows. Engines were not facing in the same direction.

Q327-03 is currently going through St. Joseph. Sounds like CSXT 3207 leading.
P370-03 is currently going through Coloma. Sounds like IDTX 4613 leading again.

Checked myself, and looked like 5299 to me, and later confirmed. 5299 was the trailing unit yesterday on Q326 behind 3240. When I saw 3240 on 328 this morning, I was almost sure, but not positive that the second unit was NOT 5299 as I was expecting, but something else, which now proves this right as well.

D700-03 has just finished their work at Hartford and is heading to Kirk to runaround their train.
Light engines are headed to Grand Junction to tie onto a train.

​@08:50:20am ET east bound Q326 CSX 5451(?) & CSX #550 with 69 mixed freight cars arriving Bangor Michigan MP 60.72

I took another look at Q326 with magnification, it was CSX engines #5461 & #560.

Q32904 by Howell at 09:55 with CSX 9051+65+4004. and 7700 feet of train Axle count was 450 which minus the three units would equate to 108 cars. However, once again they had a long string of empty multi axle well cars on the rear to mess up the exact car count. A mute point for west of Lansing because these cars are all going to Trowbridge storage on top of the cars brought there several days ago. They will have to flag the diamond to get into the siding, All this plus Lansing work so they should be late getting into GRP. Q32804 went east at 07:02 with CSX 8873+591 and 109 cars.
