OSTN SB into Howell w 386/383/329 f/r/r and an NS grain train for Osmer/AA.

Train went to The Andersons in Oakley.

[BL2-1843]

OSTN SB into Howell w 386/383/329 f/r/r

Surprised to see 329 on the lead of a northbound departing Howell at 23:00 Friday evening after picking up 33 cars out of the CSX passing siding. Crew told me it had been reactivated on Monday after being out of service for nearly a year for a complete engine rebuild at Peaker Service. Read nothing here that it had been reactivated.

OSTN left 20 cars in the transfer siding at AP for CSX and proceeded SB to Osmer to pick up the loaded potash train. They did not pickup cars off of the main due to a lack of track space to run around their train in Osmer. OSTN was NB into Durand at 02:50 this morning. HESR will take the train north today.

GLC OSTN is now sitting north of Osmer waiting for AARR to bring up the empty grain train.
