07:55 CT / 08:55 ET: P371 through Michigan City, CG 124.0

09:00, Holland local D702 with CSXT 2782 has completed their pickup of 2 centerbeams from Zeeland Lumber (no setoff) and is ready to proceed to Grand Rapids. The remainder of their train is ash loads. Did the 4006 get sent back to GR?

On the Hamilton Branch, There are three tankcars at the docks at Sherwin Williams. No cars were parked outside at Lumbermans, but they often keep them all inside until it’s time for pickup.

V758-28 went to Grand Ledge overnight with 87 cars. No visual so don't know what was behind leader CSX 79.

BNSF 6235, 9218 with West Olive empties south at Riley St. Holland 11:59 AM.

D708-30 is crossing Trowbridge now. Looks like Asahi on the head and a set off for GLC including a long cut of ash cars. 12:27 PM.

12:40 EDT D706-30 IS PUTTING THEIR TRAIN TOGETHER AT WYOMING. I THINK D702 IS STILL WORKING BUZZI. Q326 IS STILL SETTING OUT AT HOLLAND IT SOUNDS LIKE. Y106 IS WORKING SOMEWHERE EAST OF TOWN.

12:48 EDT D702-30 JUST CLEARED GRANDVILLE WB.

12:26 CT / 13:26 ET: CSX Q327 by Michigan City CG 124.0

D702 MET Q326 AT HUDSONVILLE. Q327 IS CURRENTLY YARDING THEIR TRAIN INTO 37 TRACK. I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE RECENTLY REHABBED LONG TRACKS. LOTS OF MOW TRUCKS RUNNING AROUND THE YARD.

D706 east by CH 146 14:57.

GLC currently in Howell on CSX Main setting off cars in the Howell pass at 18:57 after already picking up cars on the main left by D708. Speaking of, D708 went back to Lansing with 54 cars at 17:00. D70530, with 83 cars followed them west with 3308+5225 on the head end. Thanks for the trailing unit number on V75828 JJ.
