D706 nearing Fox right now. CSX 3211 for a leader and 738 is your mid train. Cut of the fly ash cars on front.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.

FYI, the boxcars on D700 were from the Stow Company on the Fremont Sub, which 700 worked before going to Hartford.

One tends to become somewhat CHIPPY when you've been awake all night dealing with foolishness.
I think it's the other way around. If I was the engineer and /or dispatcher. I would say please let the foolishness of this night end.
That only goes so far and then it's "No More Mr. Nice Guy....No More Mr. CLEAEAEAN." (my apologies to Alice Cooper.)

"Cant Be Shook" had posted on railroadfan at 8:49am this morning Q326-26 was soon to be on duty in Chicago. I don't know the actual time Q326's crew was on duty. The train crews are allowed to to be on duty for a maximum of 12 hours. If I remember correctly, once they're on the move & no issues along the way, it's about 4 hours from Barr Yard in Chicago to Bangor, Mi.

When D70626 hit the detector at Fowlerville this morning, they had the same axel count as D705/905 yesterday going west. 644 axles, or 158 cars. DPU was after the 28th cars. Probably a different car, but the cut of Ash cars reported on the the front when it left GRP, when they went by Howell, there was a cut of ash cars (10) on the rear.

GLC overnight set off 61 cars in the Howell pass for D708 and picked up 73 cars from D708.
