NB D735 cleared 7 Mile. Solo unit leading, CSX 4750. No car count as I was heading in the opposite direction, likely 50 cars or so.

Per Penn_central:
Im at PCA. in Grandville. Unit number 4316 and 2 what looked like observation passenger cars just passed me eastbound.
Sounds like CSX ran their W00107 from Chicago to Grand Rapids today.

Train will probably turn around and go back to Chicago. Such trains are not needed east of GRP unless they need it on the Saginaw Sub.

Hopefully onboard are CP suits inspecting the line for their bid...it is odd that a W001 doesn't have the Geo train power, but road power instead.

They need to run it east of GR past Howell tomorrow so you can reset your "last time since a non-local train went through Howell" clock.

They might have worked the double track and the West Side, but they didn't head east from GR today.

Also have a report of an X335-08 enroute from Walbridge to GR - eastsiders alert!
