Several things that those reporting the G804-28 grain empty for Webberville last night with 83 cars did not say, this was the first grain empty on the Plymouth Sub since July 12th, trailing unit behind 520 was 431 and the fact after the train was spotted at ADM, per instructions from the RN, crew took the power back to Plymouth and taxied home. Went by Howell east at 01:47. Not known the reason for this, which was a first.
