Q326 just arrived at Wyoming. It looked like they had CSX 8082, 8577 and 6354 for power.
It appears that there is an N956 tied down in the yard. In an departure from the norm, the train is made up mostly of older FSTX bottom dump cars with some lease fleet and BNSF bottom dump cars mixed in. BNSF 6062 appears to have been the leader and is at the house with a 70mac.

Q39216 by Plymouth @ 08:50
Q21616 picking up New Boston @ 09:15

Do not know the symbol, but CSX 975+507 are pulling an empty consumers coal train into the Saginaw yard now

Any word as to when it might head east?

Might be somewhat soon. There is a D802 on duty at Wyoming now talking about getting to the west end and into 2 Track.

Hearing on the scanner what sounds like GLLX 3003 working..... somewhere.

13:14 EDT: D802 west Restricting Plaster Creek.

Z151 at Turner ready to head south. GLLX 3003 leading and a certain CAT is the conductor.

13:56 EDT: Z151 is at Godfrey, has 49 for GRP. Holding at Plaster so N956 can get out of the house.

956 is rebooting the computer on their lead unit then will be heading east shortly. BNSF 6010 and 9483 (pusher power from yesterday's 956) on the head end and D801 on the rear with another Gevo/70MAC duo. 151 still at Plaster with 3003, 2008, 2006 and 49 cars.
