M327-07 westbound cleared Zeeland Michigan @ 07:39

Passing through Waverley yard and into downtown Holland Michigan @ 07:46

CSX engine #3237 + mid dpu CSX engine #804 + 103 cars.

Amtrak P371-07 @ 08:17 westward reported by the Defect Detector mp CG91.9 St Joseph, Mi with 16 axles. IDTX engine #4628 & 3 cars (2 Horizons + AmCafe).

M327-07 @ 08:28 had stopped somewhere east of the DD site mp CG44.2 with issues with his mid DPU engine #804. They had found this engine has a "Crank case over pressure" issue & cannot be reset. He has too much tonnage to continue on with just 1 working engine & they're coming up with a plan as to what to do next. In all of these conversations, no mile post was mentioned as to where exactly they are.

The plan is to take the train into Wells siding mp CG41.4 & set off 28 cars there & then continue on to Chicago.

EB Headlight at Sawyer @ 09:33

M326 heading east at Glenlord Rd. For the axle math crowd:

Six axle leader; four axle CSXT 2785 trailing; six axle mid-train DPU.
