Probably, since neither Q326 nor Q327 had ran yesterday. Last year's Thanksgiving both did run. I was also told non-essential trains were suspended from running yesterday.

D708 is usually on duty at 12:00 noon, typically departing Lansing around 14:00. They are a M-F job but I had heard they were given Thursday and Friday off this week.

He might have had a lot of empty cars in his consist. It's based more on the total weight of the train and not the car count if he'll make it over the Saugatuck Hill. The rules are any train over 10,000 tons is to have additional power added.
