L303-25 cleared the west end of Howell at 19:00. Just like 302 & 305 did, thru the siding around the GLC cars parked on the main by yesterday's L305 because GLC said they would be down to get them, but did not. Counted 159 cars on L303 but may have been way off. Hoping someone sees the train or get...

D707-02 overnight took approx 17 boxcars and 3 lumber flats to Lowe's Grand Ledge and dropped off two cars to Hart Truss. They had no interchange for Jail.

That's interesting seeing as how Lowes can only handle 8 boxcars max. Where do you get your mis -information from??

One tends to become somewhat CHIPPY when you've been awake all night dealing with foolishness.

I think it's the other way around. If I was the engineer and /or dispatcher. I would say please let the foolishness of this night end.

I thought elevators had 24 hours to load in order to get favorable rates :? Grain empty can work Grand Ledge while 329 is picking up at Lansing. Will see if it takes 16 days to load this one like it did the one that went out yesterday. I believe that last train delivered to Grand Ledge was less tha...

On a side note: I talked to a conductor on the GLC, and he is a former CSX guy that got into it with 708 at Ann Pere the other day about them not picking up the cars left there. He more or less told them that GR's head was in the noose and just waiting for the bottom to be pulled out. Chase your sen...

Wow more junk, hopefully FRA Denny is on vacation this week, seems he has a hard-on for those Marquette boys

Crew was ordered for 08:50 this morning out of GR to taxi to Flint to get this train. Looks like it will have different power then what was planned for this job the 8092 still appears to be in Essexville with N956.
