K-862 with CP-8779 and CP-8625 is sitting at east end of Wyoming yard waiting

I've heard that it's bound for Webberville... but not 100% sure.

Power for 327 included Boxcar GEVO 3220, Dash 8 Widecab 496 in CLEAN YN2, GP15-1 1501 in Boxcar paint and Ex. Mid Michigan #24. Quite a lashup for sure. Getting ready to Leave Wyoming.

***1501 is a GP15T, one of 25 former Chessie Units. A rare breed of EMD Geep.

Through CG 95 Stevensville at 14:21 EDT. Was going slow and took a while to get here, so must have a bad EOT.

E80103 had 544 axles, 3 more cars than usual. Those extra cars were tacked onto the rear of the train, and were BNSF hoppers.

Also, the horn was horrible on that BNSF 9208.

EDIT- Finally moving onto the NS Chicago Line at 16:02 EDT. Will go down to the CSX Barr at Curtis/CP497.

Q327 air test complete, conductor on the way up to head end. Will knock down Grandville in next 10 minutes.

327 is off! It's a big one!

MMRR #24 left with Q327 @ 16:20. Sad to see you go.
lots of memories. Lots of rail fans to send it off.

A southbound CSX covered hopper train was making its way through Holly at 5:52pm. CSX 7305, CSX 8116, and CSX 8027 "Colonel Philip Hooper", leading 94 cars. Not sure if it is grain or empty potash.

Q327 thru Bridgman now... MMRR 24 Prolly lest than 40 minutes from first time out of state in a long time...

Headed down to 7 Mile Rd. crossing hoping to catch it around 6:45 pm. Gave up after 45 minutes. Just heard it clearing 9 Mile Rd. now. Wonder what the holdup was?

What looked like NB K597 turned east at Plymouth at 21:05. CSX 652 + 293 + 3119 + 3273 + 13 gons and flats loaded with uncovered steel coils, and 79 empty flats. Scanner was silent.

Q322 clearing Plymouth. CSX 7301+4800+103 cars, and a horn that sounded under the weather.

Amtrak P370-05 with AMTK 55 leading east has 24 axles, 450 feet at 91.9 DD at 21:54 EDT.
Clear indication at Hilltop at 21:55 EDT. Running over 40 minutes late.
