Just saw Q335 or Q327, not on purpose, while driving along Clevland Ave by Hilltop Rd. Had one CSXT 8706 locomotive. Probably at Vine at 12:42. Here's a pic:

Clear South Lyon 2:34 with BNSF 4093, 763(?) ( warbonnet), CSX ????, hlcx 7203

[justin_gram]

Something just had 314 axles, 4529 feet on the 131.3 DD. I'll watch to see if it's the train I saw at Hilltop earlier or a new eastbound.

EDIT - It was Q327 that was at the DD and that I saw at Hilltop. Chicago west had the tracked lined for Q327 to come down just a few moments ago (with no signal yet) and now she switched it back and trains are moving on the NS... I'll edit this post when Q327 starts moving onto the NS.

By Howell at 15:08, BNSF 4093, BNSF 763, CSX 8532, HLCX 7203 (in helm red) Has 91 cars. Colorful consist to say the least. Recrew called for this train at 16:30 to meet them along the way somewhere between Ensel & GRP.

Tried to get a photo of them at howell, battery too cold. Warmed it up, just got photo at Williamston.

Are you going to be chasing all the way back to GR?

Somebody just got a clean DD reading at CH79.9. Based on the axle count, doesn't sound like Q335...but maybe the scanner missed the end.

[Saturnalia]

16:00 EST: Q335 okay on their EC1 for the Main Track West, from EAS Ensel on the Main, to WAS EE Lako, on the main. A dispatcher message has been annulled. Not sure where it is, perhaps out near Lako that Jetlink heard earlier.

16:11 EST: Q335 Clear Ensel

[59caddy]

Just wondering, has that Q334 in the Brighton pass moved yet?
