AMAZING, L302-22 by Howell before dark at 17:40 with 42 cars. 7593 + 3019 on the head end.

Another G077 grain empty, clear on a pair in Williamston at 22:30 with 85 cars and three units per the DD at Fowlerville, 3458 leading. Did not see the trailing two units. Perhaps one is for the one unit grain empty now loading at Webberville. This one must be going to Grand Ledge.

L302-21 by Howell at 19:05 with 41 cars and two units. 3005 leading. Has work at Lansing.

21:29 - G077 west proceeding out of the South Lyon Siding. Empty grain train for Webberville. Green Oak DD at CH39.1 said 366 axles. G077-20 by Howell at 10:08 with 90 cars and single unit 7276. Crew had the train spotted at Webberville with the main line switch returned to normal with derail resto...

19:03 - L302 is still stopped at WE Brighton, L303 is almost to Fowlerville. L305 is still doing whatever they're doing in Howell. L305 has had air issues ever since arriving at 17:00 with their combination set off and pick up in the Howell pass due to the cold weather and having only one unit toda...

THANK YOU MUCH to Andy24 and Talk for the photos of 7586 & 7581 Much appreciated!!

Doing some research this morning, because I wanted to know, when the current West Olive pusher units, 7581 & 7586 first came into Michigan. Had to look through 20 some pages of current location updates in December to find that it was on M326 on December 19th. This was only three days after the new r...

L302-19 by Howell at 18:04 with 47 cars. 3286 solo on the head end. Meeting L303 in Fowlerville who is running power light with 3 units.

L302-18 by Howell at 21:53 with 121 cars and also a blinking red EOT after the 52nd car. 7593 + 378 + 5292 on the head end. Assume 302 picked up 5292 & 52 cars from the L302 train that died in the Plymouth area several days ago.

L303-18 finally departing Brighton after being in a holding position with his 177 cars waiting for a westbound to get into the siding at South Lyon.

L303-18 by Howell at 18:35. 720 axles over the DD at Fowlerville which would make 177 cars. However, that included the long multi axled flat car on the end which would have made it only 175 cars or so. DPU after the 123rd car.

L303-16 by Howell at 18:30.

17:53 - L302 west thru EE Trowbridge. No visual.

No L302 in Howell, but did have L302-15 go west at 20:15 with 133 cars and two units, running elephant style. 3188 leading. 302 met 303 at Brighton who had 161 cars.

L302-14 by Williamston at 19:20 with 123 cars. 3342 + 3082 for power.

L30213 was annulled due to "traffic does not warrant a train". Crew was Deadhead back home to GR early Monday morning after that decision was made... This is good because I sleep better when there are no trains. Unfortunately, they keep running these grain loads in the middle of the night. If they ...

Anyone know where 303 is? I would predict L303 finished their work at Lansing and heading east L30313 did not go by Howell until 8:05pm. Yesterday's L30312 crew was supposedly deadheaded to Detroit but todays L303 made it past South Lyon without meeting anyone. Long day in Detroit if yesterday's cr...

Just went by Howell at 20:05. Last I heard yesterday was they deadheaded L303's crew to Detroit. If so, they have spend a long day there because I still have not heard a word out of them tonight.

L302-12 by Howell at 19:15. 876 solo on the head end and 68 cars. Will be setting out at Lansing but no pickup.
