L305 is currently making a setout/pickup at Asahi in Fowlerville. 8181 is the leader followed by a Dash 3 rebuild. Both units are currently facing west elephant style so the 8181 is leading with the long hood.

Back to back days with foreign power on the CSX GR subdivision. Here’s UP 9015 in Zeeland, would’ve been nice to catch the CN units from yesterday.
