M326-17 @ 18:45 eastward to northward at Porter Junction CP482 / CG136 per ATCS viewer. Probably meeting Amtrak P370 somewhere

Thanks Pudgy, I’m following older maps with mileposts

M326-17 @ 20:11 eastward was seen taking Sawyer Siding mp CG106.4 by K1NGxBONDx007 while traveling on I-94.

C80116 was running just ahead of M32617. I believe C801 is by Livingston running for double track and M326 is at Sawyer for Amtrak.
