D707-02 overnight took approx 17 boxcars and 3 lumber flats to Lowe's Grand Ledge and dropped off two cars to Hart Truss. They had no interchange for Jail.

That's interesting seeing as how Lowes can only handle 8 boxcars max. Where do you get your mis -information from??

I stayed up waiting for the night JAIL run and counted as they went past. WHERE DO YOU GET THE NERVE JTS?!?!
