L303-29 by Howell at 18:45 with over 85 cars. They picked up 2428 at Lansing. Not sure what the delay was at Fowlerville but 303 was there nearly 90 minutes for the three way meet with 302 & 305. Yesterday's U305 had 84 cars back to Lansing from Howell, a good part of it was on L303, plus a long string of stone empties in the midde.
