Clear indication at EE/WE Livingston westbound at 11:19 ET. BNSF 5767, BNSF 8469 leading.

This was the train that went down to Grand Junction yesterday... Had some issues after pushing coal train up the hill so they just died there.

D700 westbound through Vine CG 92 at 12:00 ET. 32 axles, 422 feet. Sounds like they will be servicing the D.C. Cook Nuclear Plant in Bridgman today. Not sure if they have to do anything in Sawyer at Arlington Metals.

Y106 has CSXT 2034 leading... Slow clear EE Fox 12:15 ET.
Z739 at Pleasant St. In Grand Rapids at 12:13 ET with a WAMX leader.

Southbound through Rose Twp. with what sounded like either a very short train or light power. I couldn't quite see through the trees.

WELCOME BACK Q334, aka, the running of the first D706 (03) from Lansing to Toledo, CSX 3263 & 8624 YN2, with 103 cars, (road power from Chicago and not the same old pair of units seen day in and day out on D708) , by Howell at 12:18pm. Is this ever going to save a ton of time, crews and moves, over the way its been done for the last year. For a change, am now looking forward to the days ahead, instead of dreading it.
