Sounds like D705 past Brighton at around 18:30 - at home for class so I can't give too many specifics, I can barely hear it on the radio.
I take it the usual engines are out West still?

D705 currently doubling his train @ Rougemere

[BL2-1843]

Took D705 15 minutes exactly to go by me at 10 mph running thru the pass around the 41 cars D708 just parked on the main. It was a chilly watch at trackside even though I could have watched it from in the house. Second unit behind 738 was 4054. DPU 3211 was after the 73rd car. 150 cars total. 33 cars of stone on the head end, first ten was rip rap rock. 66 of those cars are going to Lansing, thus with little room left in the yard as it is, D708 left all 51 cars they just picked up at Howell in the siding at Trowbridge and made the rest of the trip back power light.

GLC must be done at Howell, I can easily hear Notch-8 645's off in the distance, along with the classic horn - they're down at Chilson, I'm at Brighton Lake Rd, sounds amazing.
