D801-16 @ 2:26:59pm westward at Bangor's Center Street crossing mp CG60.35 with CSX engines #3266 + #3209 + BNSF engines #5903 + #8453 & 130 empty coal cars going to Kirk Siding mp CG70.2 After this empty coal train is tied down in Kirk siding, D801-16 will be returning to w/e of Grand Junction siding mp CG55.6 to pick up the N801-15 that was tied down there yesterday.
D801-16 @ 4:01:33pm eastward Bangor's Division St crossing mp CG60.93 with CSX engines #3209 + #3266 lite. He did go to Grand Jct but appears he didn't move N801-15 out of there.
Q327-17 @ 5:12pm has a crew for it, but they're having issues with the leading engine (alerter not working) while preparing their train in Grand Rapids.
Q327-17 @ 7:32pm finally on the move from Ivanrest mp CG4.7 with CSX #5274 leading. No idea what additional power they have. He's to pick up cars at Waverly.
Q327-17 @ 8:00pm reported by the DD mp CG19.1 w/ 226 axles & 3,220 ft long. CSX #5274 + 2 & 52 cars. May have ended up using the same 3 engines Q326 had yesterday, the CSX #5274 + #8016 + #5404. The #8016 originally was going to be the leading unit & the plan went back & forth about leaving the #8016 behind due to an alerter problem it was having. UPDATE after passing by the Bangor cam: CSX #5274 leading + 3. The additional CSX engines were all pointed nose forward & couldn't read their numbers. There was a total of 3 CSX 6 axle engines & a CSX 4 axle engine & 51 cars for the DD mp CG19.1 report.
Q327-17 @ 9:21pm reported on the move westward from mp CG28.

Haven't heard any movement out of C01016.. said they were crewed by GR guys on Tuesday afternoon, but don't think they moved anywhere today.
E80016 is supposedly on duty, but haven't heard a peep out of them moving up at West Olive yet.. Tom's probably right that they are getting taxied to Kirk to grab the empty coal train there. 10:04pm.

SB D735 was approaching 7 Mile Rd., then stopped about 1/4 mile short, much to my chagrin. Was still stopped as of 22:40.

Q327-17 @ 10:27:09pm Bangor's Center St crossing mp CG60.35 with CSX #5274 leading + 3. The additional CSX engines were all pointed nose forward & couldn't read their numbers. There was a total of 3 CSX 6 axle engines & a CSX 4 axle engine & 106 cars.
After reviewing Q327-17 in slow motion, the 1st & 2nd engines were CSX #5274 + #5404(?) from yesterday's Q326, 3rd engine was a 4 axle with yellow strobes having 5's in its engine number, the 4th engine was CSX #4042. From the radio archives while Q327 was still in Grand Rapids there was a problem with the CSX #8016 that was set up to be the leading engine & was reported to have an alerter problem, they then got the CSX #4042 & the engineer said that engine "was broke" & then they were to get the #6081 for additional horse power. But it didn't appear to be the #6081 as it went by Bangor as the 3rd engine - it appeared to have a 5 or pair of 5's in its number. Apparently, they kept the CSX #4042 to transport for repairs.

Per a friend railfanning, Q326 just by State Line with CSX 883, 3068 and 103 cars. They left about 300 cars for GRP behind, so maybe an X326 in future?
