Could be, but if so, it won't be the first time 5500 has spent time on the Lansing Local's even though the last time was in Sept. 2020 when L304 & L305 were known as D707 & D708.

I was told L302 was building their train with a pair of AC44 rebuilds, this was around 16:00 maybe. We'll see if they keep them.
