They were told to stop a few minutes ago by the RN to get an EC1 for a crossing around 140th...
16:36 Edit: BNSF 9183 leading, released their EC1 from the plant to NE Wye. They're a D802.
16:49 Edit: D802 clear Saugatuck

Q334 is about to get airtested, has an 8574 lead, C40-8W, 8???, and then another C40-8W.
16:48 Edit: Highball on the airtest

17:12 EDT: Q334 just lost their EOT. RN will try to line up a replacement in Lansing for them. Crew not sure if they can make Toledo, no crews available for recrew. They've got 104 cars IRC

Q334 just by the switch at Kalamazoo Street heading out. Long train. Don't think I've seen so many RBox cars in a while.
Thanks MQT and CNW for tracking him.

Where were you? I was over there filming from the water's edge.

BNSF 8979, 9599 with empties south at Riley St. Holland 6:14 PM.

Northbound G403 is in Plymouth going north.

Q322-16 is shortly behind him south of Plymouth, also heard Q150 on the scanner so he is somewhere south of Wayne Junction.

D737 is working East Yard. I noticed a lot of local traffic for Flint was in East Yard such as cars for Clean Harbors and Lockhart up in Flint. I've noticed these cars were normally on Q322/Q321 and recently have been on D737 instead....interesting.

G403-11 northbound just cleared Plymouth. CSX 79+7369+90 cars.

Q15016 cleared Hines Dr Signal Plymouth @ 19:40
