Q327-12 @ 10:44am has his signal entering the main at Holland mp CG25.3

I wonder if Q326 was scheduled early to allow a long MofW work window? Once coal is clear, the next passage on the GR sub west of Holland would be D700 late tonight. I know various crossing replacements are in the works (Bangor just done last week) and there is a lot of work equipment and supply staged at New Richmond. What other work is planned? I wonder if there might be ballast and rail on the way sometime.

I caught Q326 out near WE Hudsonville. Lots of cement hoppers and loaded junk tie gons in the consist.

Do the large number of cars going from chicago to grand rapids there will be an extra q326 every other day . That is why the train was " early" today

Anyone know if the power from 326/x326 will head to Webberville to get the grain train there that doesn’t have power?

Also noticed at D708 took the potash cars in Ensel and dropped em off at Anderson’s in Webberville.

Q327-13 @ 09:04am reported by the DD mp CG19.1 with 736 axles & 9,900 ft long. CSX engine #934 leading + 3 engines & 178 cars. He's going into Waverly/Holland mp CG23. A viewer there had seen Q327 with 4 engines but didn't get the engine numbers. I'm assuming he has yesterday's Q326 & X326 power CSX engines #934 + #985 + #3096 + #903. The #934 was heard on the scanner leading.
