Is he almost ready to leave Plymouth? And whats this I hear about a U302?

U302 won't be on the train in Plymouth for a couple hours yet. Have to taxi from GR.

U302 extra train scheduled to run Plymouth to GR tonight. No details besides crew on duty 1800 in GR to taxi to Plymouth for train.

Likely the same deal as a couple weeks ago with Detroit overflowing with cars needing assistance with switching.

As of now, no indication any signals have been removed. Current slice of action will see Trowbridge to EE Williamston redone sometime in the near future. New locations for Meridian and a signal by the DD at Okemos (CH 90) for the apparent 2 intermediates between the sidings.

21:14 - Thru CH 43 with 3080 and 3215.
L302 was stopped in Plymouth for a few hours today, wondering if that is why the RN is discussing recrews currently.

Just over 2 hours making the LSRC pickup at East Yard in Plymouth. Part of the "new plan"...

19:49 - L303-04 east thru Brighton, 834 and 899 leading 119 cars (488 axles). They met G077 at Trowbridge and met L302 at Fowlerville. Nothing is lined east or west as of 20:10. Rumor has it that B222 is building at Webberville, I expect they run to Plymouth tonight. With Webberville then free, the...

L303 east clear CH82.76 East Lansing at 15:16. CSX duo #834 + #899. 48 cars

#5396 + #7254 must've been set off in Lansing to prepare a loaded grain

Potash empty at Webberville.

Sounded like he'll be departing soon eastward onto the Plymouth sub-division. Does anyone know the destination for this train? Wiki doesn't list this tr...

While everyone yapping about the Plymouth sub, CSX train either U315 or M510 is sitting in Romulus with 1973 leading the cheesie system heritage unit. Unsure when it will continue to Detroit. DPU is having major issues. Who is yapping about the Plymouth Sub? Pretty sure most of today's updates were...

L303-28 had only two engines east of Lansing, 234 was set out in Lansing along with 11 cars per the radio. Interesting considering the grainers at both Grand Ledge and Webberville have two engines each. The eastward facing 234 would be a good match for 3208, I wonder if it was brought to Lansing to...

5479 is the trailing engine on this latest G077. Does anyone know their symbol prior to Plymouth?

G82823 became G07725 for Grand Ledge.

10:00 - Not sure what the story is, I’m sure someone will give it in great detail… sounds like U302 must have had to split their train at some point. They’re reassembling in South Lyon now. L30226 had too much tonnage for the hill at Plymouth combined with the rain yesterday. Train makeup didn't al...

03:22 - G077-22 west thru Brighton with 3460 and 107 leading 92 cars. A single 4-bay covered hopper was in position 25.
I would guess they are bound for Grand Ledge considering the mixed reporting marks.

Webberville

Boy, they just will NOT let go of that idiotic connection between the CSX and the MI Line. How much time would that really save, 3 minutes?

Cuz new station in NB...lol
