NB Q150 just turned east at Plymouth. BNSF 4049 + 4173 + 149 (!) double stacks, 12 singles, and 26 empties. Biggest Q150 I've ever seen, by far.

Was it going to Peaker, or coming from Peaker? I thought it got dropped off there a few weeks ago on Q385.

Going to. 708 pushed them in from the north at 18:20. I'll have a video up soon. :)

At Howell. Sounds like a possible Q385?

P370-08 is currently going through Hartford. Sounds like IDTX 4621 leading.
Q327-08 is currently going through St. Joseph.
edit: Q327 at DD91.9 at 9:52 pm: 604 axles, 8639 ft. if I heard correctly...and apparently I did according to Justingram

Somebody is eastbound just past Elmdale, being routed into the siding at Lake Odessa. Currently listening to the feed, haven't been able to identify it yet.
08:59 I believe it could be D707 with 5256 leading. All their radio calls match up with the ATCS screen so far.
admin edit: changed d708 to d707.

Overnight at Howell, Q38506, after a major delay at Plymouth with issues, was by Howell at 02:28 with CSX 710+571 and 142 cars. Q38408, even though out of GRP by 21:15, sat at Lansing for over four hours waiting for Q385, because that is the only place either would fit. By Howell at 04:48 with CSX 704+3341 and 126 cars.
