They were waiting on Z151.

L303-18 @ 15:01 Grand Rapids job briefing with the RN Dispatcher: CSX engines #5413 + #391 (Spirit of Dante) & 42 cars (20 loads + 22 empties) & 3,252 tons @ 2,570 feet. 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.

L301-18 @ 15:30 westward Holland Depot, pass track to main, mp CG25.3 with CSX engine #4384 & 13 cars (12 CH + 1 Tank). He has work for Hartford mp CG68.7

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.

L301-18 @ 16:08 westward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 58 axles & 843 feet long. CSX engine #4384 & 13 cars.

Could it be that the MoW crew have been working somewhere between Stevensville and Sawyer that there is no L301 lately. MoW have been parking on the siding by Glenlord Rd in Stevensville.

I'm guessing L303 is getting held up by GLC or will be soon in Howell judging from my scanner.

Thank you Tom. It just seems the MoW is working somewhere close seeing as since last week they have been using the old Glenlord Lumber siding on the siding to the south of Glenlord

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.
