D702-02 @ 16:07 westward reported by DD mp CG19.1 with 362 axles & 4,976 ft. CSXT engines #4016 + #6244 & 88 cars. I'm only speculating he still has the CSXT #6244 that he had gone east with earlier & with this car count, he had added the CSXT #4016 for the needed additional power.

I noted cars on the old Holland Pass and a long string of cars in the Waverly siding east of Lakewood- looked like almost all ash gons and a few ballast cars there. I wonder if Wyoming built a Michigan Shore block and D702 tucked it into the siding to make things easier for D700, and z627?

Correct for the engines & car count by Bangor. He had told Dispatch he had 17 cars to set off & 18 to pick up from Holland. Note: the CSXT #5466 has had PTC issues & can't be the leading engine.

He was reported by the DD at mp CG19.1 @ 04:24 with 420 axles & 5,424 feet long. That's 102 cars, so, he handled 1 more car than what he had originally had stated.

07:50 Attention Lansing east, D706 lead engine 286 looked to be finished with their Lansing work and waiting to head east at Turner Street.

In other news, 1 lumber load at MPC Cashway lumber, 2 tanks at Univar, and Franchino’s has removed their spur off the MPC lead northwest of the airport. The stick rail has been stacked for relay somewhere else.
