if d705 with, 7140' of train, does tie up on 2 track west of seymour they will have to cut
burton, silver/elliot, eastern, and college, and possibly madison and jefferson
if from pleasant st east it will be cutting hall. stevens, division, jefferson, and possibly madison
either way it will take time to put 705 back together and pump up the air, even with a cab to help
move the conductor from cut to cut. i would think the 2nd trick yard crew with be cabbed to the head end
to bring 705 into the yard, and the cab will bring 705's crew to the yard office. if there is a 2nd trick yard crew?

Sounds like this westbound D705 train tied down just east of Seymour on the main, so it's train length goes east under Plymouth/Alger and over 28th st, and doesn't block Breton Rd.

Keep hearing horns. I'm going to guess D706 met D707 in Lake O. Either that or D707 came out worked Lake O, went back to Lansing, and then D706 followed them east.
