Did they work Ensel or did they just go straight through and did they get their EOT working?

[amessmann]

D706-02 calling clear for CH 51 at 17:48 and calling CH 49 at 17:51, couldn't make out an indication.

D706-02 calling clear for WE Brighton at 17:55 and the same for the EE at 17:59, as well as calling CH 43 at 18:02 - sounds like there will be a meet in South Lyon.

D705 called an approach medium for somewhere, I'll let sparrow24 tell you more. Great radio range with the snow and 18°F weather!

They were reported at CH 104 with 25 cars, post Lansing they were reported with 39 cars. Not sure on the EOT.

[amessmann]

D705-02 calling clear for CH 43 at 18:32.

D705-02 thru EE Brighton at 18:39, whoever was calling referred to EE Brighton as 49 and WE Brighton as 51, then corrected, referring to Brighton as the pair.

If you're going to post repeatedly like this - I used to as well - may I suggest the following format, for better readability?

17:55 D705 clear Salem
18:01 D705 approach medium CH34
18:07 D705 into the siding at EE South Lyon

...and so on. The times are the most important part and thus should be first. I would also list everything by time, not by train, so you can sense the order of things. It took me reading this twice to realize the two had a meet
