Did not catch the date of the train but the power was 3184+3319, with 89 cars. Crew had the train spotted at Webberville by 23:30.

DD at Fowlerville showed 88 axles for L302-21 (330 + 4569) indicating 19 cars. It was a three train meet there as both L302 & L305 (with 9 cars) took siding while L303, who was by Howell at 18:15 with its 72 cars held the main.

L302-20 by Howell at 17:30 with 21 cars give or take one or two. 330 + 4569 on the head end.

L302-19 had 92 cars. Two cuts of rip rap rock in the middle of its train. 16 cars total.

[quoteL302-18 by Howell at 19:15 with 21 cars that weren't bad ordered. 272+4555 leading. [/quote] Should be 279, 272 got rebuilt[/quote] Another stupid brain fart on my part. One, it had already been reported as 279, plus, saw this power at both Deshler and Fostoria on the cameras the previous day.

L302-16[/b] @ 14:27 Rougemere Yard/Detroit mark up with the RN Dispatcher what sounded to be: CSX engines #716 + #346 & 65 cars (24 loads + 41 empties) @ 4,419 tons & 4,066 ft long. He's building his train.

By Howell at 17:24. Engines and car count correct.

L302-15 with 91 cars cleared the west end of Howell at 18:25 following L305 to Lansing. Same power as they had going east to Detroit yesterday. L302 was in the siding at Brighton before L303-15 got to Fowlerville who met them there.

L302-13 by Howell at 17:50 with 66 cars. 5460 +5447 on the head end. Met L303 in Brighton who had 50 cars. L303 met L305 in Fowlerville who had 39 cars back to Lansing.

L302-12 by Howell at 17:35 with 45 cars. 525 + 5233 on the head end.

Any updates on the YN2 count as of the beginning of the year? There are currently 316 units in YN2. Quite a fair amount more already at Erie for rebuild. 121 of these are older GE's now all stored perhaps never to return, leaving around 180 YN2 units still operation. On a side note, the latest CSX ...

Earlier today, M510-07 passed Fostoria, OH cam at 11:44am turning at the wye and heading north had CSX 754-CSX 150 (back to back) CSX 2428-CSX 8479-CSX 2050 (all elephant style) and about 130 cars.

I show CSX 150 was renumbered to 7028 when rebuilt.

L302-04 cleared the west end of Howell at 18:00 with 66 cars depending how bad I botched up on counting cars on his 10 mph train. Evidently signal issues as L303 earlier with its one car train creeped by just as slow. Same power as what L303-03 had going east on Sunday.

Grain load from Webberville went east by Howell at 22:12 last night. 5315 + 81 on the head end with 89 cars, nine more than the empty had when spotted. Train was either G789-01 or G791-01. "Date" is right but my short memory can not rememeber which one it was. Train came to Webberville from Plymouth...
