hi tom
saw 327 at grandville at 1125a tied down with ivanrest ave crossing cut.
it may be that the d801 crew was in fact a d job out of the plant.
normal 326/ 327 crews are qualified to run wyoming to chicago ( barr yard ) only,
but are not qualified to run from the plant to the wye's at waverly. only the loads,
empties, d job, 700 and 702 crews are qualified to run on the fremont sub that i'm aware of.
702 return from wyoming with 27 cars iicc approx 230p
327 by the tower approx 346p with another 30 or so cars to setoff and the dpu unit was tail end charlie.
then approx 415p a lite power single 4 axle went west by east waverly ( could have been 702 working zeeland lumber? )
they would be clear of 327 on the mj lead in zeeland.
didn't have any scanners on and don't know if it ended up at waverly or not
This is not really the case anymore, especially after the closed West Olive as a crew base and consolidated all of the extra boards. Everyone is qualified everywhere now, basically.

What I believe to be D705 or 706 is going through Howell currently. Was at the 7/11 just on the other side of the tracks off M-59 and heading lots of horn.

09:25, D702 with CSXT 6244 dragged 54 cars in the Holland pass into Waverly yard to work. I’m not sure when these arrived from GR. Included were three cuts of ash cars (probably 25 gons total) and the usual mix of west Michigan stuff. For fans of fallen flags, there were two Conrail Coil Shield 2 cars 📸 and a decent looking Chessie System gondola in the mix.

D706 because there’s been no sign of D705 in Lansing

D706-28 @ 04:34 eastward was reported by the DD mp CH126.3 with 364 axles. CSXT engines #4287 + #8619 & 88 cars.
Couldn't find the DD104.3 report, radio reception wasn't very good this morning & it had sounded like D706 had released his EC1 to go eastward to Detroit at 06:19am.

Speaking of, D708 was having trouble with the DD at CH 39.1 yesterday, no output whatsoever from the device. It was a pretty one sided conversation as I can pick up dispatch clearly but not any trains.
