Supposedly there's going to be more. Won't be regular, but occasional. Don't freak out if you don't get them today. They should leave at like 4-5pm today.
384 will also have CSX 4692 (Widecab SD70) trailing today. Somehow it isn't in storage.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Except for a few in for work, the majority of the SD70M's are out and running. What was once mostly all Florida assigned units, have seen eight of them at Fostoria or Deshler in the last several months.

Q33508 by Howell at 14:45 (no typo on the date today) now approaching Williamston. Was out on bike, to far away to see numbers, but the wife said CSX 14 was leading, 5461 middle, but she missed the last one. 143 cars.

I think they're passing by Trowbridge now. ATCS shows CN holding for someone at the diamond.
the contents of the above post are my opinion and mine alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer.
Here's a question. Could Q384/385 get rid of Q334/335 in the near future? Or is there enough traffic coming out of Walbridge and that both Q334/335 and Q384/385 are needed? Q384 and 385 could easily switch Walbridge on their way between GR and Selkirk, as it is on their way to Selkirk if they use the Saginaw Sub.

There taking over for Q334/335 although wouldn't surprise me if they run some extras from Walbridge to Grand Rapids
