He got permission by the Stop signal @ 14:45 That always seems to become an issue there because of the former Sunfield siding being removed last year, yet, the Absolute signals are still operative & has caused some interesting debates between the trains & Dispatcher regarding passing the Stop signal.

It appears Q326 had an engine failure with its mid DPU on the Saugatuck Hill mp CG32.5 & they're trying to get their train over the hill by cutting their train. As of 17:30 Q326 is still dealing with his hill issues.
