Late report:

At 12:30pm, Q326 was eastbound passing under I-196 on the south side of Holland. Looked like two dark future GE's leading.

Zeeland industry report:
Plastcore: 2 covered hoppers
VandenBosch Elevator: 1 BNSF covered hopper this morning, later replaced by 1 NOKL covered hopper
Zeeland Lumber: empty

Later, at 20:07hrs, Q327 passed thru Bangor with CSXT 284 (good looking Scheme 6) and 5121 (Scheme 7) and a lengthy train - mostly tankcars.
