Hey everyone, has anyone heard anything about D705? It sounded like it was supposed to hit South Lyon around 5:30 but I’m guessing it got delayed. Anyone know anything about it?

Not a word has been heard for D705 - he hasn't arrived Grand Rapids & haven't heard him on the scanner. (I had my trains backwards).

Not a word has been heard for D705 - he hasn't left Grand Rapids & haven't heard him on the scanner doing the usual train preps for departure.


Ok thank you

Micah_d as was posted, D705 was at Plymouth mp CH24.5 at 6pm. The east end of South Lyon is mp CH36.2 & the west end is mp CH37.7 That should help you get a rough arrival time for you.

Thank you all for the helpful information and links! Since it is in Plymouth Is it doing yard work or on the move to SL?

Also see pages 60 & 61 that continues on from where page 80 leaves off. It's just the way they made the Time table. I can't hear on the scanner that far up the line.

Is it correct that no train goes through SOut Lyon on Sunday?
