SB pair of engines running light just turned east at Plymouth. CSX 475 + 211. Came off LSRC.
In other news, the Main St crossing in Plymouth is blocked off to traffic due to a broken rail, per a CSX employee at the site.

Hey Everyone, I hope you and all of ur family’s are doing well in these times. I had a question about D707, I’ve heard of no 707 running for the past 3 days and took it upon myself too figure out why it’s last report was at WE Lako. I drove up there yesterday and 707 was sitting in the hole idling with a SD40-3/SD40-2 Combo and a Decedent sized train. Dose anyone know why he is sitting there? And I have a reading that says that 707 will run tonight but it says out of Lansing at 23:59 so will they run another set of units out? And why power is all in Edsel right now? Thank you guys.

707 runs Sunday through Thursday. Thursday night’s train died there and there are likely no extra crews available to bring it back to Lansing. D708 on Friday used D907’s power from the day before so they didn’t need 707’s engines. Tonight the regular D707 crew will likely taxi out to Lake Odessa and bring the train back to Lansing.

NB D735 clearing Middle River. CSX 5244 + 5469, as usual. Had over 100 cars before dropping off maybe 35-40 at Middle River. I didn't stick around to see the remaining car count afterward.

Tom is you look closely that flat car had extra sets of trucks under each end of the car. This accounts for the extra 4 axles. I had to go back and rewatch the video myself....;-)
