Correct on the 2nd unit Tom. By Howell at 03:25 with 95 cars out of Detroit. That is only five more cars than the 90 cars D-708 had leaving Howell back to Lansing yesterday including three strings of empty ash cars. 708 did clear all 75 cars out of the passing siding here and GLC was back again for the 2nd night in a row at 02:00 and this time added 72 more cars to the siding for Mondays D708. GLC had only cleared off of CSX by 45 minutes before D705 got here.

The V-94430 86 car grain empty yesterday, if nobody reported it, went to Webberville and had it spotted in the plant by 17:15.
