This is stale news, but there was a grain train SB through Grand Blanc at ~13:00. I managed to beat them to Holly, which they went through at 13:31. CR Quality 8822 was leading CSXT 7889

Odds are it was Q327 at that time of day.

Z151 was into the yard around 2pm this afternoon. Not sure what time they ended up going north again. I had seen the 3001 outside of the engine house last night, not sure if it was ready or not.

Awesome Doc, thanks for the update! Good to hear we'll be keeping some Toledo type work up this way... where it can be accomplished with fewer crews and maybe a faster time. Those GR Sub guys will like the additional S326's. A busy rougemere will put those Gensets to the test, though from what I've heard they seem to be doing well. Maybe we'll someday see that GR-Plymouth-Flint mixed train, the traffic seems to be there...
