08:35, D702 accelerating East at Waverly-Holland to Zeeland with two lumber loads. CSXT 6394 and 6547 for power. 6394 has ditch lights that pulse, not wig wag 😅

They will have 2 empties to get at Zeeland Lumber. Elsewhere in Holland-Zeeland, Plastcore has one covered hopper, De Leeuw Lunber has an empty centerbeam and Stow has three boxcars.

Going well below the normal track speed.

There's a single CSX unit stopped near south side of Michigan Ave in Lansing. Went through East Lansing westward in reverse a lil bit ago. Not sure what symbol he is or unit number or what he's waiting for. Unless JAIL is due south at some point

Edit - It was 751 that's been part of D705 and D706 for the last couple weeks. Proceeded toward Ensel Yard in Lansing with restricting signal @ 1143

D706 by Howell at 13:41 with 95 cars. Tying down the train Beck Road Plymouth, cab meeting them there. 3203 may have been a DPU when it went by Jetlink earlier, but it was on the head end behind 751 now.

Makes me curious as to why 751 on its own in reverse retreated back to Ensel in Lansing earlier. Extra pick-up(s) maybe? If so, wasn't paying attention to see it line back east from home. Just in person to see it reverse back.

BTW BL2, though new here to forum via ID, been keeping up for over a year. Thanks for all the times reporting when Q329 went westward by you in Howell. Helped very much in timing for being ready to get it here in Lansing. Also thanks for reporting anything else westward in those times, much appreciated!

Did they by chance drop off cars in Trowbridge? Maybe a long cut just for Howell? Trying to figure out why they would cross the diamond solo EB and then WB?

So it sounds like it turned around according to bluewonderrails. So it never went through south Lyon?
