Heard Q32612 go eastward through Hudsonvile, CSXT 7500 in the lead.
D007 was chatting with Etzel this morning... Etzel said "you do know that we have no work for you today in Holland"....D007 said nope, we didn't know that. Heard them say something about more railwork around GR, but not sure what.
E94911 came by the Holland depot, BNSF 9892 leading as Tim mentioned.

D802/D803 made a nice appearance heading north at Riley St. at 11:28 AM: BNSF 9321, 9333, 9594 on the head end; CSX 598, 455, BNSF 9446 and 8870 on the rear.
Y121 headed north at Riley St. at 1:18 PM with CSX 2517 pushing 1 boxcar, 1 hopper, and a caboose. They should be heading south now with the next stop Ottawa Beach...

Lets see what I have for guys from what I got today on the Saginaw Sub.
D745 - CSX 2636 at Plymouth 10:30am
G796 - CSX 840 and 421 past Romulus 1:40pm. This is a Valdosta bound grain train out of Flint.
D716 - CSX 2610 at Romulus 1:50pm. They worked the Kelsey-Hayes spur with a nice blue caboose today.
N952 north through Romulus at 2:15pm with CSX 557 and 462. This train was at McGrew Yard waiting to head east towards Port Huron just before 9:00.
Q216 met N952 just south of the diamonds with CSX 5292 and 680. They had to wait on an NS Geometry train which I missed.
Q327 passed through Plymouth around 3:15 this afternoon which is around their normal time passing through.
Q132 was coming through Plymouth at 4:15pm with UP 4799 and 9177.
Q304 had the 8809 in the lead today. Didnt see them but got the engine number when the RL dispatcher was giving the blocks, and did not hear or see Q305 either.
There was a southbound grain train out of Flint tonight as well. I didnt catch the symbol on the radio as it was coming through Grand Blanc but had CSX 7386 and 8111.
SBS Z127 had the 1169, 1164, 1179, and 1177 tonight coming through Birch Run at 9:35pm. They had well over 100 cars with the first 60% or so being CSX grain hoppers with the general freight tacked on the back.

I caught that G796 shortly after Q392. G796 had CSX 840 on the point which is one of the new GEVOs with a really nasty sounding horn (Sounded like a "shot" Nathan K5LLA ). There was CSX 8376 ( SD40-2 ) kicking cars around East Yard between Q392 and G796. The CSX 8376 was the same one that was running the D745 locals last week.
"...and I was in the front and Matt grabbed and pulled my ears from behind me and made horsey sounds."
