16:14 - L302 west through South Lyon.Green Oak DD at CH39.1 said 190 axles.

5454+3031+275 on the head end. 275 should be the extra unit Webberville has been looking for all week for their grain load. But, I did say the same thing when the two extra units (BNSF) were on L303 two days ago. 275 was facing the right way because they needed an eastward facing unit.

P370 clear 504 with IDTX 4602 leading an amcafe and 2 ventures. Sold out train today

[amessmann]

20:03 - single unit 275 eastbound approaching Okemos. Running as G803, they will head to Webberville to start building their train. In getting out of my car to check signals, I was surprised with a triangular headlight pattern coming thru the trees behind the bank at Farm Ln. Not the best photo spot but it was cool to see the solo unit, cab facing east. I too was curious to see if this train would get the BNSF units. For the record, 3265, the engine at Webberville, indeed faces cab-west.

had to be able to run at track speed. rn told 301 there was a crossing they would have to

Can not be 100% sure but a eastbound just passed through Brighton at 00:14 on 4/8/23 could be G803 no visual
