Just saw what may have been y106 headed east about 1:30 with CSX 4036 on lead. 4018 trail and about 8 cars.

I'd guess that was more likely D707.

I'd agree. Those two units have been the Ensel power for the last few weeks.

Q335 west at Seymour at 1729.

Any idea when the outbound crew is called?

[Jochs]

... Clearing line mowing west to east is just above me now. Nothing but blue sky to the west. Still not sure I'm going to be able to shoot the coal train, but I'm going to try.

Mowing above you? Did it look something like this?

[J T]

That's what happens when I'm posting on my phone and don't have my reading glasses.

No outbound. Power to the tower on the main for 327 later tonight...I suppose power will be a recurring issue with this extension as 335 must be split into 327 and 335 power-wise. I guess Toledo needs to start adding an extra unit or two...

Empties from West Olive south at Riley St. Holland 7:00 PM. In the dark. Of course.

Just drove over maden ln by vine and saw a approach limited indication showing. Sounds like p370 is going through now.

E927-28 southbound cleared Northville about 10 minutes ago, with BNSF 8412 leading.

Earlier (around 21:30), there was a NB just south of Lilley Rd. in Plymouth stopped due to a broken knuckle. Didn't get the train number. Sounded like there was some attempted vandalism earlier; apparently a youth attempted to cut a hose.

It was reported by me in the MI Shortlines Thread. Zack caught the movement on the scanner, but wasn't sure what it was at the time. Also chatter in MI Talk in the G&W Loco Roster Thread. We see ya!

Looks great Zack!

JT I can't wait for the day those executive MACs are gone and you wish you could shoot something other than swoosh MACs, ACes and GEVOs!

I can't wait until they are gone because they are butt ugly and the least photogenic locomotive on BNSF's roster. I look at it this way, if I were a fashion photographer, I surely wouldn't miss ugly models not walking down the runway any more. Same can be said for the Grinstein.

Here's a shot of the head end on the hill near 133rd. Yes, I was up in a tree and the engineer gave me a friendly toot when he spotted me. I have a few shots of the ACe, but I haven't processed those yet.
