M326-22 @ 14:43 was advised by the Dispatcher the truck that was stuck at 64th Ave crossing mp CG16.3 has been removed.

L301-22 @ 14:49:35 westward N. Center St crossing Bangor, Mi mp CG60.35 live cam with CSX engines #6248 + #4070 & 19 cars. He has for work at Hartford mp CG68.7 & Coloma mp CG76.7 & Sawyer mp CG105.2 He had 11 coal cars that looked to be loaded in his consist that were recently brought into Holland from the West Olive, Mi power plant by a R Job Train. Maybe those weren't meant for delivery to West Olive?

He had told a MoW employee he has: 2 cars to deliver & 9 to pick up at Hartford, & 1 car to pick up from Coloma & wasn't sure yet if he'll have time to go to Sawyer (he didn't say what the work for Sawyer entails).

M326-22 @ 12:06 made an emergency radio transmission from the 128th Ave crossing mp CG38.1 Radio call was broken up - waiting to hear more reports. Dispatcher was heard saying "we'll get someone out there". Vehicle or a person had bounced off of the engine per the crew & apparently fled the scene.

First they had to deal with a kid on an ATV running into them, and then a truck stuck on the tracks in Zeeland?
