These engines are from today’s Q326-18 due to on-going issues with the CSX engine #41 (he was supposed to have CSX engines #41 + #5268 - can expect to see this pair on tomorrow's Q327-19). He’s waiting for a signal to depart & has work for Lansing.

When L301-18 came into Waverly yard he had coil cars that I assumed were going to Arlington metals in Sawyer as well as a couple of box cars for Menasha in Coloma.
Somewheres along the line they must’ve had a change in plans.

Y121-18 tied up in Waverly yard @ 16:20 Waverly yard is near capacity.

Oh yes, MoW is definitely working in the general area of Riverside & on the west side of the St Joseph Bridge as well. I've heard them on the scanners asking for work time & being asked at times how long it will take them to clear up for rail traffic.
