Train returned loaded on Sunday morning at 0:222 as G-076. Never did hear where this train went to load.

Much appreciated, I was not in town to see this one. I am told this one ended up at Grand Ledge. Admittedly these rapid-fire G077/G076 sets have had me thrown for a loop.
In addition, I am wondering if the machine you had spoken about last week is the machine I had reported behind T.B. Simon near WE Trowbridge back on November 7th 2023. Eventually they had moved it and I found it parked in the spur at WE Fowlerville when chasing W085 on April 20th this year. It was seen parked in the spur again on May 19th (this last Sunday).
