334 was a typo, I did mean 335, but I'm curious, are you saying that the coal went to GR and then back to Lansing? Did 335 not work Ensel?

As to the yard job, I think it varied. Mostly I recall it being overnight, but morning, afternoon or evening was not out of the question. Switching that plant did involve tying up the Harrison Rd crossing a bunch, so I suspect they preferred to do it in the middle of the night.
By plan, Y303 was scheduled to work the plant. I don't think Lansing had a yard job other than midnights, at least in during my railfanning career post 1996.
The dispatcher is cool.
