22:32 - G077-17 west thru an approach signal at EE Brighton. Stopping at the WE. 3251 and 3338* with my count being 90 cars.

Train returned loaded on Sunday morning at 0:222 as G-076. Never did hear where this train went to load.

L302-18 & L303-18 met in Brighton at 18:05. L303 had 130 cars, nearly half of the train were part of the 76 cars L305 took back to Lansing from Howell yesterday. L302 had 62 cars. 66 + 7383 elephant style on the head end.

L302-17 following L305-17 to Lansing. Both had to wait at Fowlerville for quite awhile for L303-17 to get in the siding. L305 has 76 cars, most picked up at Howell from GLC, and left 45 cars in the Howell pass for GLC. L302 had 53 cars with 3109 + 887 on the head end again.

L302-16 has 3286 + 3370 for power today with its 129 car train. Nearly 50 cars of rock and stone on the head end. Do not know if anyone has mentioned this because I have not been on this board most of the week, but have been having a GREAT TIME watching a large piece of on the rails machinery since ...

4711,4515,4717,4729,4752,4764,4565 are the latest seven rebuild units with YN3c paint from Huntington. This now makes 35 rebuilds with YN3c paint in the 4700 series. 785 is another new one from wreck repair but not sure who painted it.

Got a G792-XX (empty grain) bound for Grand Ledge, MI after passing by on the Princeton Cam at 7:05am CT. CSX 918 and CSX 7223 and around 90 grain cars As we all now know, this train turned into G077 west of Plymouth as usual, and ran with a single unit 918 to G.L. this morning. The surprise was, s...

There were 37 cars of grain on the head end of L303 today. With that many or more on yesterday's L303, probably from the grain empty that went to Newaygo on May 3rd, and now coming back in sections. Anything to save a crew and having to run a separate train. The power that was on that train came bac...

L302-09 by Howell at 19:48 with 90 cars. 421 + 5375 on the head end. A couple of what looked like brand new TFOX gondola cars three quarters of the way back. THANKS MUCH ADAM for the photo of 5466 on L303 earlier.

Lead unit on L303-08 today was 912, from yesterday's L302-07. It has been listed as 918 all day. L303 had 92 cars if I counted right at Howell despite only having 49 cars leaving GRP.

Power on L302-08 today is 5466 + 543 with its 110 car train. Now west of Fowlerville at 18:22. I need someone to take a photograph of the lead unit, 5466 for me yet today or sometime tomorrow regardless of if continues on to Chicago or returns on L303-09 tomorrow. I reported this as a new YN3c repai...

G077-05 this morning evidently went to Grand Ledge. It did not go to Webberville. DD at Fowlerville showed it to have 90 cars. Trailing unit behind 98 looked to be 710. 98 was on L302 on April 9 which had 3410 paired with it at that time. 2nd unit on G077-05 may have ended in 10 but was not a four d...

L302-06 has 3026 trailing behind a smoky 136 leading with its 48 car train. By Howell at 17:25.
