D706-12 went east by Howell at 06:18 this morning with 104 cars. No stone empties. First 40 were cars from Ann Pere that D708 had picked up here. With nothing to pick up, GLC put 31 cars in the Howell pass from the east end by 19:00 Friday, for Monday's pick up. It was an Ann Pere turn too so they went back north power light. Not sure why CSX turned the power on D706 this morning and put 348 on the lead from Fridays D705 instead of having 3473 leading. Nice to see 3473 again, rear or front because it was a first timer for me yesterday still leaving 14 of the 3400s I have never seen before from this group built in 2016.

With my luck, D705 will return with the power from D706 this morning and both grain trains will go by in the middle of the night.

That was V713-08, 90 grain empty, yet to be determined where it is going. CSX 3373+145 on the head end. Now taking siding at Fowlerville, 1. due to track lights on the main, and 2. a track car has come across a "distressed" person on the rail near Williamston and waiting for police to investigate.

By Howell at 6:32pm, but will be holding in the Fowlerville area for quite a spell as V713-08 only recently started to put its train away at Webberville.

Green Oak DD says 284 axles, 4229 feet.

He has 68 cars:

(284 axles) - 12 axles (the two engines) = 272 axles (cars)

4 axles per car ----> 272 / 4 = 68 cars

(Works about 99.9% of the time when doing the math, a bit different should there be 3 engines)

D705-12 departed Fowlerville west at 20:02. Has Lansing work of course. Trailing unit 5406 has died already. The 5406+5243 set was on D706 two days ago so the power as reported from Plymouth, wasn't that "fresh" And yep, 68 cars was what I counted to match sparrow24's axel count at Green Oak. The 2nd grain train at Plymouth reported as coming must be going to Grand Ledge, but the train already there has not departed yet. Perhaps they will do a move like they did recently and the crew that puts the train together, takes it to Plymouth and brings the empty back in one 12 hour shift, even if no time left to spot it.
