Train 116 is passing MP 22.5 on the Holly at 3:45 pm. Just a few racks followed many stacks and many more empty well cars at the end, which is unusual until recently. It is so nice to have this train back on the Holly and during the day too.

Train 507 passed MP 22.5 at around 6 pm with two 8800's/8900's, one 85 foot HiCube and just a few doublestacks.

20:23 - E251 WB thru Trowbridge (MP 223) on M2, did not get the power. They took M1 at Mill to let M302 and P364 pass.
21:07 - M302 EB thru Trowbridge on M1 after crossing over at Cedar. They will stop at Okemos (MP 227) to let P364 pass.
21:20 - P364 EB by MP 225 on M2.
21:31 - M302 proceeding east from Okemos. Ignore my earlier report of signal issues, I had thought M302 called a restricting signal for M2.
