Even though it has just been reported twice, I had to chime in to say seeing D705 go west a few minutes ago in darkness at Howell, this was my first true test after having a second cataract surgery yesterday on my left eye after having my right eye done only a week ago. Have had to wear prescription bifocal glasses for over 30 years, yet my eyesight has been diminishing for years and have to walk across the street to see trains at night because I could no longer see most numbersm even with my flood lights on. Not only could I see 406+339 with clairty 100% but I could see the numbers and reporting marks on all 81 cars from inside the house without any glasses on what so ever. Who said miracles do not happen. Tomorrow will be my best Thanksgiving ever.

D705 WB thru Lansing returning to Ensel.

As of 22:00, D708 is still not back yet. I got my D-jobs confused earlier. They are still off tomorrow and Friday FYI so Bob will still be able to eat in peace.

D707 is OD waiting at Ensel for D708 to return.

Are you sure that wasn't D705? D708 just called an Approach in Brighton.

I corrected. Got em sideways. D708 is near EL now. Finally almost done. Very late night for em. D707 should have just Lowe’s and a JAIL set off tonight. D705 had a bunch of coils for em on yesterday’s train.
