I can hear chatter on the scanner, but I cannot make out who it is yet.

D705 Clear MP 54 (Howell) Plymouth Subdivision
But what was not said, with the same three units reported going east by Howell on D70608 this morning less than 11 hours after it went by. The entire trio was turned around. Must be that 2053 was not supposed go to Detroit this morning. At least I got to see first timer 2053 in daylight. Train had 101 cars with 30 plus stone loads on the head end, four Ogihara scrap gon empties and three reefers towards the rear.

Interesting. Didn't know they reused the power.
I was only able to report the train ID and MP since I'm reporting while chasing these guys. Certainly a unique load for them.
