This loco came into Livernois Yard this morning, 7:55 a.m. Hey on August 10, 2018 I caught Q131 in the afternoon going south through Delray! It connected on the "Lincoln Secondary!" Will Q131 instead head west using the connector at "CP Lou" and go to Plymouth? Did it already leave? I hope to catch it tomorrow morning (12-28)!!!!

[BL2-1843]

GLC has been in Howell the last two hours, and now over on CSX as Z62427 setting off 76 cars in the Howell pass and picking up the 28 cars D708 put in the pass last Thursday (instead of the transfer to get an hour earlier quit than they have had otherwise). Only thing I can tell you today is that the west 42 cars consisted of 27 three bay hoppers, 13 tank, one lumber and one coke as this was the only part of the train that went by the house and was to lazy to bike or drive down to see the rest. Beside that, I will find out anyway when D708 picks them up.

Coming out of Durand, south end power was 398, north end power was 395, and can only assume 383-393 were the two center units if they had four as this is what they had on last week twice. What is really nice about Ann Pere set off cars, most everything is usually in order of commodity with three bay hoppers first, tanks second, tie empties third, ash cars last with any lumber and coke anywhere. D708s set off cars for GLC are mixed to the max.

It was empty, looks like I have that backwards, D801 should be right.

Actually it looks like it was E800, it was locos #9231 and 9025 with empties. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh no worries, thank you. I wish they used different letters than D and E because they sound the same on the scanner.
