Amtrak arrived in Holland on time - two Genesis engines on the headend.

D700-10 departed Waverly at 9:30 AM with CSXT 2509 and 2654 (GP38-2s).

EDIT 11:55 AM: CSXT 4536 heading D801-10 preparing to head north out of Holland - waiting for crew cutting trees in Roost block to clear tracks.

D80110 is done with their air tests, just got their blocks to head back south with their empties. Grand Rapids is calling a crew to head south of Holland, as there are loads coming up on N90310...not sure if D801 will just swap engines, and get on the load to bring that north at that point or not.

D80110 left Holland at 3:00 PM heading to GR.

Dammn...too bad it's not a sunny day today. Hopefully they'll be running up and down the hill on Saturday as it's supposed to be sunny.

Just caught Z151, followed to CSX, they had to stop by GVSU downtown wait for the a NS high-hood, moved to the Padnos track, Z151 started again to CSX, Got to the yard, switcher was working there was a SD70MAC and a SD40? by the lumber yard, 2 BNSF's where on the fuel track, Q326? mabe was doing a air test over the scanner and had a highball just after I left. I made my way the back way home and found NS pick up at Fuller and just started heading south Highhood GP38, boxes and empty flat cars. All in all not bad for 2 hours of driving around. As of now tho Z151 is still in GR tho.

Oh yeah MQT will have 3001 leading NB on the way out of GR and 03 trailing.
