Was going to make a new post...noticed this, so I'll tack this on:

Mr Matt rang in, horn blaring... he's taking CSX Q272 north through Carleton with newer units CSXT5470 and CSXT5471. He was northbound at about 8:30am, heading towards Flint.

In West side news, Amtrak P371 has #169 in the lead, heading west through Saugatuck at 8:45am. CSX Q326 was in the siding at Saugatuck waiting for them, and will bypass their pickup at Waverly, making a straight shot to GR.

D801 was out ahead of Q326, clearing Hudsonville heading east around 8:50am as well. I believe BNSF 9978 in the lead.

Can you guys send some trains up the line north later? I have to be up at a house on Lakeshore Dr. for my job around 1:30, about half way between West Olive and Grand Haven. Hopefully I can catch some action when I'm done around 3:30 or so.
