Y103 is currently sitting on a westbound train at Seymour that they are recrewing. Q326 is currently yarding their train and will be using a signal across Plaster Creek for headroom. The RN is holding 103 until 326 is done.

D707. As of 1553, they just got a new EC1 to go from Sunfield to Ensel. Once they are there, the will get the train to come back to GR ready and then tie the train down. Currently, a recrew is planned for around midnight tonight.

They were told to stop a few minutes ago by the RN to get an EC1 for a crossing around 140th...
16:36 Edit: BNSF 9183 leading, released their EC1 from the plant to NE Wye. They're a D802.
16:49 Edit: D802 clear Saugatuck

Q334 is about to get airtested, has an 8574 lead, C40-8W, 8???, and then another C40-8W.
16:48 Edit: Highball on the airtest

Q334 just by the switch at Kalamazoo Street heading out. Long train. Don't think I've seen so many RBox cars in a while.
Thanks MQT and CNW for tracking him.

Northbound G403 is in Plymouth going north.

Q322-16 is shortly behind him south of Plymouth, also heard Q150 on the scanner so he is somewhere south of Wayne Junction.

D737 is working East Yard. I noticed a lot of local traffic for Flint was in East Yard such as cars for Clean Harbors and Lockhart up in Flint. I've noticed these cars were normally on Q322/Q321 and recently have been on D737 instead....interesting.

Please do not poke at the ramp agent because he has the power to make your vacation
memorable or miserable. It all depends on what flight you bags go on.
