N800-09 Bangor mp CG60.7 approach @ 18:53:50
​Q327-09 @ 19:43 is being delayed in Grand Rapids due to PTC issues & a mention of maybe having to switch their engines around.
Q327-09 as of 21:11 still has not departed Grand Rapids & waiting for final authorization to run their train without PTC. The plan @ 21:30 is to go to Grandville mp CG6 & take the leading engine #362 off & place it at the rear & run with CSX #63 as the leader due to the PTC issues. Turns out, they didnt do this, they just swapped the engines around on the head end.
