Q334 was stopped at Seymour for about 20 minutes this morning dealing with switch problems. Apparently many switch heaters were just being lit this morning after the snow had started. Finally got moving again about 09:00. Power is CSXT 7653, 8755 & 2561.

D708 is at the west end of Ensel right now. They'll be waiting for Q334 to get out of the blocks and then heading for some work in Grand Ledge. Ultimate destination for today is Lake Odessa.
Update: 10:54am: Approaching Ensel now.

At least D708 is out working today. They never made it east yesterday at all and all they did was go to GRP to pick up another unit (2700) because there's (2561, which had been working Ensel since late last year) was out of service because the 92 due date for inspection was up. Ensel yard job (Y302) had to make another trip east this morning to do east of Fowlerville work. They brought 12 cars with them, dropped two off at Pinckney Plastics, and the other ten scrap empties went to Ogihara finally. They have been looking for them for ten days, while 708 carried three of them around all last week without finding time to set them off. After being at Ogi yesterday, they are now really in need of them as the scrap bin was pretty full.

Q334 was by Howell at noon, and D-006 work train picking up old ties has been here all day. Power, is 8749. just a tad overpowered for this train. They will spend the night here. X500-08 by Fowlerville coming east @ 14:45.
