Q32908, OR Q32909, whatever they called it after yesterdays issues in Detroit, has CSX 170+844 for power today. Did not get a car count, but whatever he has on the DD west of Lansing will be two more cars than what he had in Howell. As expected, no Q328...yet. Only reason they was a crossing malfunction at Williamston is because the gates didn't go up when 329 was picking up the two repaired bad order cars at the west end of the pass. You cant get away with down gates at Williamston for more than two minutes without a train going by before someone calls it in.

There is a diverging clear (?) for an Eastbound freight at Grandville, and I heard it on the defect detector at Niner. Not sure what it is, haven’t heard it call out any signals but it’s about 1900 feet long.

**Sounds like D801 which I’m kinda scratching my head at since that’s normally coal train helpers.
