If a loaded coal train runs today he will get those 2 pusher engines. Sometimes, Q326 will get those if he is too heavy of a train to make it over the Saugatuck Hill. At this time, no idea if a loaded coal is running nor where Q326 is. But, it's not that often Q326 needs the pushers added.

Oddly enough, the last time I was chasing, Q326 stalled on the hill; had passed me, while I was in a Fenneville restaurant When I gave pursuit, I got blocked east side of 55th, because he was "stuck" on the hill. It took a while to get helpers, so I had time to backtrack and run around and up to E. Saugatuk. Didn't have radio, but another railfan did and he .mentioned sbout a "down" engine.If I remember right, they brought in helpers for the front end. Then that lead unit who would not "pull", held them up. Finally did make it up and helpers ran back to where, did not know.
