8842 may have gotten spun but did not get set off In Lansing as it was still there when going by Howell.

[/quote]Hi BL2-1843, where did you see the #8842 ?[/quote]

Going by the house here in Howell where I see all the trains. 3rd unit facing forward on L303-27. Have not been away from Howell in five years, further than a few miles. Perhaps it will return on L302 today.
