Something showing on ATCS via the CN Flint Sub showed an eastbound CSX lined, then minutes later now a westbound. Not listening to radio, nor am I on scene, but starting to think if they're moving the freight left by D705 last night on the siding at Trowbridge in East Lansing to Ensel. By now, I'm not sure if I could make it in time to see for myself.

Hello, bluewonderrails. I am a railfan in south Lyon. You said d706 was lined up. Is it headed my way?

I haven't heard D706 at all today on the scanner & I am wondering if he has any engines since D905 (was D705) is just now getting into the Grand Rapids area with CSX engines #3208 + #543 + mid DPU #751. The D706 crew might be in need of these engines.

Didn't mention anything of that but doesn't appear to be the scenario

Now on scene, D708's units took the siding at Trowbridge and coupled the head freight left there last night from D705. Looking like it was intended for D708 to take back to the yard itself. Flashing yellow on dwarf signal westward toward Ensel but D708 continues to sit with lights dimmed

Edit - D708 proceeded westward at 1702 and is clear of Trowbridge/East Lansing. Apparently a bad car or something left behind there on siding.
