09:24 CT: Q327 Medium Clear CP 482 in Chesterton, IN

FWIW, the high/wide transformer was NOT on this train. I’m sure it would have been mentioned if it was, but just to confirm for the curious.

When I was driving back from Chesterton a little bit ago I saw that the signal at WE Michigan City was showing clear for an eastbound, and when I got home the ATCS showed the switch at CP 482 lined for the CSX, but no trains in the block, so he either already went by me before 13:20 CT or he is not to Porter yet.

13:31 CT Update: looks like the NS Dispatcher was gonna line him up earlier but changed his mind and ran one more westbound. Whatever it is now has a line-up from 2 to 1 to the CSX at Porter. Presumed Q326 but could also be a coal train.

14:04 CT: rolling by me now at Michigan City
