Hearing reports of Q010 derailing in Auburn IN late this morning, small possibility of seeing reroutes
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Google maps agrees with your findings - looks to be blocking county road 35 east of Auburn IN, possibly 31 and 29 as well.

They don't have enough crews to run the trains already here, let alone more.

Pattern has simply been run the hot stuff on the NYC and wait on the rest.

I assume this will probably meet 326 at Wells?

D705 calling clear for the EE of Brighton at 02:24, glad to hear 8619 is still in the lead after my trip up north.
I heard something else come thru around 02:00, sounded like the horns on those CP engines so I presume that was the K train heading west.

Likely so. Upon driving by ADM around 8:35, the tracks are filled with potash cars.

K86219 and D705-22 behind were indeed following each other through Livingston County overnight. Potash train to Webberville had CP 8789 up front and CP 9592 DPU on the rear with its 92 car train. 9592 is one of only six of the entire fleet of 100 9500 series units not to be rebuilt and renumbered as of yet. Potash train was all spotted at Webberville at 06:05 as D70622 was leaving Lansing with its 182 car train. 80 or more on the head were all cars D708 brought back to Lansing with them the last two days, including eleven loads of scrap from Ogihara. Most ever to go at one time. Not that they are hauling more scrap but D708 had not been there but once since returning from northwest Iowa on July 10th.

Bob, not saying you were wrong, but I'm fairly certain it was CP 8502 on the rear of K862.
