Already late, short on time, but at least here, D70822 added more cars into the Ogihara run around and then departed for Brighton at 19:52 to put 69 cars for GLC into the pass there. By the time they return to Ann Pere, unknown what if anything will get done, pick up the 82 cars in the Howell pass, the 25 in the transfer or the 20 at Ogihara, or none of the above. If they got all three they would have 127 cars back to Lansing from Howell.

How far does GLC have trackage rights on the Plymouth sub? Just to Brighton? Would you call it trackage rights or is there a different term?

D700-22 departed Coloma westbound at 12:22 am. Sounds like CSXT 2742 leading.
They will run around their pickup from Coloma on the double track then head back east.

Earlier: Q327 was taking their Restricting indication at Waverly around 07:45.

As of 10:30, D702 is switching Zeeland. There is one empty centerbeam at Z Lumber to pick up. Not sure if they have other work to do.

D801-22 had stalled out & Dispatch is having Q327 cut their engines from their train to help push D801 over the hill (from the scanner archives between 10:01am/10:31am). D801 was moving N800-22 that had tied down in Grand Junction siding yesterday with BNSF engines #8564 + #5761 & 130 loaded coal cars.
