L302 has 42 cars to set off at Lansing today and 17 to pick up if they get them. Sounds like L303 will be parking their 8000 foot train west of Plymouth as they doubt they will make it past the start of tonights work authority on the Detroit Sub, and then retrieve their train tomorrow. Was glad to hear it was pointed out that the newer ZVBX cars for Ogihara are come back to the plant via Chicago/ GRP. I had not seen any returning from Toledo since they started using these newer cars, and was wondering about that.

I'm a little out of the loop on W080... could this be, or is this for the track work in Detroit?
