L305-21 on its way west from Howell with 50 pick up cars from GLC just met L303-21 at Williamston. L302-21 currently pulling in to the Howell pass to met L303. Crew now on board the next Grand Ledge grain empty, G802-17 at Beck Road Plymouth and will return to Plymouth to wye one of their units so that they are back to back and then will return to Beck Road to get their train and head to Grand Ledge to build their train.

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY, VINNIE 5497.
Thank you!!

CSX 887 is the unit they are turning around. They are just about finished with the move in Plymouth. It would have been cool if they had kept both of the locomotives elephant style so they could return LHF.
G801-22 @ 21:28 Grand Ledge, Mi job briefing with the RN Dispatcher: CSX engines #887 + #4559 & 90 loaded cars @ 11,851 tons & 5,225 feet long. They copied their EC1 at mp CH99.0 to work inside of Grand Ledge & build their train.
