L302-17 by Howell at 19:00. 357 +3068 and a tad over 50 cars

Stopped at Ann Pere again? Quite the time discrepancy between your post and a text message from my father informing me of their location.

My post on L302 by Howell was made three minutes after it went by so the time shown as posted was correct. Never had the scanner on all day so do not known what kind of delay L302 took at Ann Pere. Did not see anything mentioned on this at all, but had light power go by Howell at 02:00 this morning. Sounded like it was west bound. Heard nothing on the scanner, and was not dreaming this.

L302-18 by Fowlerville at 18:20 with 48 cars. 7272 + 3299 on the head end.

18:38 - L305-18 westbound thru EE Trowbridge with 8199, 4070, and 68 cars. 8199 could be heard calling three-step at 19:00.
18:57 - L302-18 westbound over Farm Ln. (CH 83) with aforementioned power and consist.
Sounds like yesterday's L302 was indeed delayed between Brighton and Howell, praying no eastbound grainers are dealt that hand when attempting the hill.

L302 should be in Lansing.

When I was waiting on L302 and L303 a week or two back the dispatcher had mentioned to the train crews that they would be stopped in Howell at Ann Pere because there was a circuit issue GLC hadn't fixed yet. Not sure what goes into all that but I'm surprised whatever the issue is hasn't been fixed yet or has happened again.
