At the top of East Saugatuck. I can hear M326 going through Fennville. I will have a video up on YouTube soon of Chesterton, Saint Joseph and East Saugatuck. Today’s adventures!!

326 on the GR sub. Front engines 5246, 8066. Rear DPU is 5110

That light was taken down. Nothing routed on CSX currently.

Something routed on the CSX GR Sub off NS eastbound. Coal? Hope so!!

Amtrak P371-16 is on the NS westbound as of 7-10 minutes ago. I’m live and in color at Chesterton. Oh baby!!

E800-01 on the NS Westbound.

I’m in Porter IN. Hopefully catching E800 soon!

Sounds like L301 westbound at CG29 - no visual, but heard the horns.

M326-19 was stopped just south of MP28 waiting for R597-19 to get through the west wye and on the Fremont Sub. Just heard L301-19 go west at MP28. 3 trains on the lunch hour. Not bad....

M327-13 Westbound clear Holland MP25.3. Per defect detector @ MP 19.1 - 544 axles, so that is 133 or so cars. Mid engine DPU in consist. Lead engine is CSX #3104 per radio traffic.

07:10 Stealth mode M327-06 westbound cleared Holland Depot.
