Sounds like something eastbound called an approach at Gray around 07:45, perhaps a loaded coal train.

07:55 St Joseph Bridge is closing for P371, who is at Riverside. MV Cuyahoga due in once Amtrak is by, around 9am

08:05 P371 clear Paw Paw, N801 clear Riverside

The DD at mp CH104.3 at 08:38am had reported a train with 566 axles & 8,630 feet long. 3 engines & 137 cars for the axle math. Haven't heard any of the usual report by locations from this train, so, unsure who he is.

W00310 Inspection train with CSX 5222+9669 is being delayed at Williamston for a possible 30 minutes due to a signal maintainer having track time up to 09:30. That was probably D705 Tom, D708 brought back 75 GLC cars from Howell on Tuesday, 20 more yesterday, but not from GLC, which make close to the 137 cars reported. They would have to have picked up another unit at Lansing. GLC left 65 more cars on Wednesday for D708's pick up today.

The DD at mp CH126.3 @ 09:15am reported the same 566 axle count as the DD at mp CH104.3 did at 08:38am (3 engines & 137 cars), so, this train is definitely westbound, but, unusual not to be hearing locations & train i.d. being called out (bad radio maybe?). Finally did hear D705 being called out. CSX engine #3271 is leading.

5222+9669 W00310 inspection train departed Williamston at 09:18 with a stop and flag at a crossing between there and Okemos. D705 was running silent by Howell as well this morning Tom, as well as on yesterdays D706 except for they went through the pass to run around the cars sitting on the main.. Would not have known they were coming when they did this morning if not for advance word when the RN communicated with them.

10:00 - W00310 Inspection train with CSX 5222+9669 is sitting at Turner Street crossing waiting to enter into Ensel Yard.

ADBF/JAIL 1760/1758 just entered Ensel w one CSX coil car. There’s at least one CSX coil car for RSDC-Holt in Ensel for them today.

UPDATE: 10:06, CSXT 5222 is uncoupled and entering Ensel. I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume then that the third 6-axle engine this morning west of Lansing was 5500 as it’s been here for three months.
