A Toledo source indicates that 322 today has three (3) SD-70M's for Lake State tucked behind its engines. Blue with CITX markings. 3rd train in line to come out. No engine numbers available.

There are only 3 CITX SD70M-2s, 140, 141 and 142.

A tad late but Y106 was talking to Rn around 14:00. They had to swtich Advanced (1 cars it sounded like) and then where going to head for Wyoming.

You have to admit, that's a darn fine consist.

BNSF 5719, 8430 light power north at Riley St. Holland 4:28 PM.

Q326 is just arriving into GR right now. On track 2 appears to be D700 with the lone unit LHF at the west end of the train, parked just shy of the Barrett St crossing in Grandville. Third time in a row over the past month that I've been shopping at the Corner Record Shop in Grandville and a train has rolled by. Maybe I should shop here more often.

17:11 AD - Zeeland 164axles 2090' length. J_T is this your D700?

MSU switcher and a lowboy on the west end of Wyoming Yard.

CSX D708 (maybe D908) by Williamston west at 4:45pm with CSX 896 leading CSX 7305, here's a video of it https://youtu.be/8Gg2dMfxVJs

Cleared 7 Mile. CSX 4835 + 7828 + the 3 CITX units + about 100-105 cars.

NB D737 clearing 7 Mile. CSX 2613 leading.

The M322 Steve reported came by downtown Wixom (North Lincoln to CSX) about 20-30 minutes after Steve saw it. Currently sitting just south of Lorien Drive (Buno Road on the actual road signs). After some thick brush and gate hopping, some nice photo opps in the evening light. Sun may be a problem for some. Doesn't look like he'll be moving anytime soon, scanner traffic has been nothing recently, and the crew is just chilling eating dinner in the cab. Earlier the conductor was walking alongside the train.

Sighted BNSF, CSX, CSX, MSU consist on the west end of Wyoming Yard. On tonight's 327?

Looks like M322 has received a green indication at North Wixom to continue to McGrew Yard. I will listen for the defect detector.
