Sounds like there is a D801 coming south out of West Olive right now. Not sure if light power or pulling a train of empty coal cars.

Also heard a train blowing on the east side of Grand Rapids about 15 minutes ago. Turned on the scanner and haven't been able to tell what it was.

Sounds like 700 is ahead of 326 now. Heard the 44.2 detector for 700 about 5 minutes ago, and then a minute or two later 326 cleared Grand Junction. Where did 700 leapfrog 326?

They held Q326 at Riverside to let D700 go by, they had D801-27 with an empty coal train headed westward & I guess they made the swap with D700/Q326 since they could put D700 into Saugatuck to let D801 by that's going into Wells & Q326 is waiting on the main at Wells for D801 to clear into Wells siding.

Q326-27 @ 19:03 eastward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 284 axles & 3,843 ft. CSX engine #7878 + BNSF engine #6885 & 68 cars.

D700-27 @ 19:05 eastward, siding to main, Saugatuck mp CG32.

D801-27 @ 19:27 westward, main to siding, Wells mp CG41.4 with CSX engines #3440 + #3167 & BNSF engines #5993 + #6175 & 130 empty coal. After he ties down the empty coal train, he'll cut away the CSX power & take those engines into the east end of Grand Jct siding mp CG54.

D700-27 @ 19:29 eastward reported by DD mp CG19.1 with 68 axles (+2 error) & 1,847 ft. CSX engine #4016 & 15 cars. Interesting errors, even the length is nearly double of what DD91.9 & DD44.2 had read. Accelerating or de-accelerating while passing over the HBD equipment will affect the length calculations.

Sounds like D707 could be starting their work, just heard dispatch talking to them (I think).
Supposedly a V train could be "coming down" as well, something about Turner St., too much static to understand.

Z-train as in Z646/JAIL’s symbol when they access CSX trackage. They ran north tonight crossing CN at 23:56. I saw them working in Ensel about 30 minutes later. Unsure if they went to CN or just had to grab some cars at CSX today.

I didn't see them, but based on horns heard on the West side, I'd say they went to the CN between 1-2 AM
