What happened to Q326 & D705 ?

I was out for a while today & then I checked thru the scanner archives for D705-28 in the Plymouth & Grand Rapids subs and couldn't find the DD104.3 nor the DD126.3 reports. He was at Seymour mp CH148.1 at 4:48pm and then heard him yarding his train. All I know is he had CSXT engines #5371 + #5386 + 3130.

Q326-28 I need to search for in the archives next. He had set offs for Waverly, but, I don't know if he also had cars to pick up.
