D700-13 has finished their work at Coloma, and is headed west to Riverside to run around their train. Sounds like the coal train is at Sawyer and they'll be able to run around their train before the coal train gets to St. Joseph, and they'll follow the coal train eastward.

back from doctor, good to go till nov appt.
rf.com was down this morning, but will cover 327 at this timt
note on the dd at 19,1, time shown is when the dd reports on total train that has passed the detector,
last yeat the detector would report when the headend passed and then report the end when it passed.
19.1 - 327 total by at 836a
had 3299 ld & 5466 trail with 107 cars -dpu 3165 - and 80 more cars - 766 axles - 10951'
120th ( waverly ave ) and Lakewood would be the streets blocked as it looked like 327 cleared 112th ave
bad streets to block. that would leave only river st nb omly and the next st west sb only pine st. located
on the westside of downtown Holland. or approx. some 5 mile east to 112th to cross the csx to get into
the downtown and southside areas, let alone pulling past the cp at Holland and getting the signal to
go main to siding into west end waverly yard and then back out again with the pickup from ho1 and ho2.
327 would have min 4 e-w streets blocked with those two moves, 8th st is right on the south side of
Holland station about 700' south of the cp. 8th st e-w is the main downtown street for Holland and hope
college is just west of the rr along 9th st.
also forgot this
at approx. 945a on the way to the doctors passed a wb loaded railtrain with 1 engine stopped at n Fairview rd on the east side of zeeland
just east of the app signal to east waverly, couldn't see much with the traffic behind.
.
15:20: Q326 clearing up 8th Street in Holland to make its Waverly setout. Fairly short train today. 5226 and 5478 for power.
Edit: 15:35: 326 was routed into Waverly but didn’t do any work and is now exiting the yard heading for Grand Rapids at 120th. Crew shirt on time?
Earlier, Q327 west at Bangor camera at 12:28 with 235 total cars.
I believe X326 is in Gross aiding awaiting a recrew to continue to Grand Rapids.
This morning, D702 was in Zeeland in the 10am hour switching industries. Got my car back from the shop and heading out soon to see what local work they did!
Q326-16 @ 3:49pm reported by the DD at mp CG19.1 with CSX engines #5226 + #5478 & 58 cars - no set offs made. At this time, X326-15 is still inside Gross siding awaiting its re-crew.
D802-16/X326 @ 4:45:13pm Bangor mp CG60.7 with CSX engines #3352 + #8907 & 117 cars & CSX #7208 as rear DPU.
D802-16/X326 @ 7:00pm reported by the DD mp CG19.1 with no cars set off at Wavely or Holland.

That second unit on X326 is actually 8907, one of those new ST70AH units. It will be facing forward tomorrow but prior practice suggests it won’t lead 327.

Replayed on rewind at 1/4 speed as it went thru Bangor & saw the nose number was definitely the #8907, the 1st digit of the engine's number under the window was distorted by dirt or something.
