D70517 had 156 cars out of Detroit this morning, the same amount D706 had going into Detroit yesterday. Cleared Howell at 05:50 with CSX 8619+206+3300 on the lead. Crew was not happy, and neither was the dispatcher that they had to run through the pass around the 66 cars for GLC that D708 left parked on the main for the night. Heavy train with 80 cars of stone and rip rap rock on the head end. From the time they hit Ann Pere diamond until the end of the train went by me took nearly 25 minutes.

D702 currently eastbound between 112th and Zeeland, not sure if they’re just working Zeeland or heading to Grand Rapids.

Per the Lansing-area scanner feed, D705 “all lined and locked back normal” reported to the Dispatcher, which I presume means he’s done with his work at Ensel, and the timing matches up nicely with what should be expected.

I think I’ll go find him :)

hi jon
702 went pass the tower with 2 lumber for zeeland, he may be tucked in the mj runner
to let 327 pass. 702 normally sets off the zeeland cars and then goes to wyoming and
picks up the buzzi cars and works buzzi off of 1 tk before returning to wy.

correction - 702 just by me returning to waverly with 2 empty lumber cars
840a 327 all stop on the main hudsonville
845a 327 clear we hudsonville - 987 headend power

905a - 327 clear 112th ave
327 consist 987 ld - 59 cars - dpu 794 - 29 cars
at 19.1 dd - report on 327 - 324 axles - 4251' - 2 motors - 78 cars
327 has 1 tk to pickup at waverly

question - i wonder if 705 - 706 was started to lower the car count on 327 and 326
due to blocking the crossings at waverly
since the startup all the stone cars for lansing have moved to 705, 706

D801-17 @ 4:46pm, main to siding, at the east end of Wells mp CG41.4 CSX engines #3065 + #817 bringing an empty coal train into Wells siding. They're leaving this train intact for the E801-16 crew that's to be on duty around 5:00pm.
D801-17 will then go to the west end of Grand Junction siding mp CG55.6 to become the DPU's for N801-16 that had tied down there after passing Bangor at 2:51am this morning.
Their cab made mention they are called to be at Grand Junction again at 7pm for another train (N801-17).
