Q326-20 @ 11:09am was reported clear of the St Joseph Bridge with CSX engine #335 leading, which was paired up with CSX engine #92 on yesterday's Q327.
Correction: #335 is paired up with #8831 & those were the 2 engines also on yesterday's Q327.

Grand Rapids east end, west end, and West Olive crew pools and extra boards are being combined into 1 singular pool and 1 extra board. Many people are not qualified in both directions or DPU qualified, its going to be a mess for a while.
