Q385 turned west at Plymouth and halted, barely clearing the southwest wye. D737's engine has coupled on to the rear and is now pushing. I went to Sheldon and still couldn't see the lead engines, so it must be pretty long. CSX 3186 is pushing. Power was CSX 5220+5336 on the head end with 133 cars. ...

Working rail grinder RG403, grinding curves, plus a separate grinder behind grinding switches, RG6 west by Howell at 14:05 & 14:20. Thanks for the heads up JJ on the power for Q385 coming. Another Florida assigned SD70M is on this train I see, and another I have not seen personally in 17 years (10-...

Despite several reporting Q384 going east after midnight last night, plus Dan Cluley reporting a westbound stone train, what wasn't said that Q38414 had only 52 cars on it, plus an intermodal car on the head end with five platforms on it. For what ever reason, that was the shortest Q384 train I hav...

Been listening for Q384 from South Lyon for an hour and 10 minutes. He's a no-show. Q384 had two locomotives to set out at Webberville for a grain load. They did not go by me in Howell until after 11:30pm, so wound have been after midnight for you. From the dummy me department, I looked at the long...
