Y121 is currently in Wyoming Yard for an unknown reason
There is no engine at Waverly yard In Holland Michigan this morning so they probably have to pick one up from the Wyoming yard.
They had to do the same thing on Friday when they started their day in Wyoming yard went west worked out of Waverly yard then returned east at the end of the day.
What I assume is M326 just went by Stevensville. Two six axle locomotives plus a four axle locomotive up front. Assume this will be going to relieve the shortage of local power.

Only caught a glimpse of it, but it appeared the four axle unit had a pink battery box on the right side.
M326-27 @ 11:23 eastward Division St crossing Bangor, Mi mp CG60.93 cam with CSX engines #5349 + #4565 + #6460 & 91 cars.

20:35 - L302 westbound headed into Lansing, 120 cars accounting for 6560's presence.
It always seems the lineside industries are busier on the west side of Michigan, is that why all these four-axle units typically head that way?

Is the 12-axle depressed flatcar in consist getting dropped off in Lansing or getting moved to GR?
