G010 out at Sunfield. Doing some sort of work. Can't quite figure out exactly where he is going or what he is doing but he's making several moves back and forth over the switches and signals. Almost like they are checking functionality out. Not sure why a G010 would be doing that though. Having quite a discusion with RN over what kind of a signal the Eastward signal at the WE of Sunfield actually is.

They have the 2659, a box, a CH, then 11 gons. All by Wealthy at 19:11. Eastern Cantilever at Wealthy, well, that nice bell is history. Still hitting, but hardly making a sound besides a rattle.

19:23 EDT: Q334 getting busy in the yard. Haven't seen them yet, but the headend of their train in 2 track has two days worth of Msukegon Stuff.
19:30 EDT: Q334 still trying to fire up their second unit...
19:39 EDT: P370 arriving in St. Joseph per Julie. On-time so far...
19:40 EDT: Still no sign of Q334...
19:54 EDT: Q334 3-stepping in the yard, going back to safety now, but still out of view...
19:56 EDT: Q334 on their train. Knocking off handbrakes, 290 is making final moves before 334. BTW, 5494 will be your leader on the 334.

20:26 EDT: Q334 found another problem. It is with their 3rd unit, that was DIT? Anyway, finally coming ahead to the east end...

D011?? just cleared Schaffer Ave WB. This must have been your WB earlier. Not sure if they met Q334 at Elmdale or Fox.
