Hi ya Donnie, I think Q327 will be leaving the CSX #2652 engine at Holland. That engine had arrived on yesterday's Q326 & I had heard that was to be a yard engine for Holland.

Q327-01 is currently going through St. Joseph, clearing the bridge at 11:46 am. CSXT 3395 leading.
Q326-01 is currently going through Coloma. CSXT 3324 leading.
Apparently there are downed trees in Southern Berrien County (I have been getting interference on the CSX dispatcher channel on my scanner about trees blocking roads, and the RN told Q327 to watch out for fallen trees.)
Also, large electrical poles along the right-of-way between Coloma and Riverside have been reported as leaning over the tracks. The poles follow the tracks from Benton Harbor to Coloma.

As of 5 pm, the signals at Kirk were all red, so the coal empties that Tlout reported earlier were not yet lined through.
I checked out the broken poles near CG 78.3 between Coloma and Riverside and got some photos.
We have been under high wind warnings all day here in SW MI.
Dicastel, (formerly APL Logistics) does not get rail service. CSX uses their siding occasionally to store M.O.W. equipment. You can see the switch in the first photo.
