G076-20 eastward through Williamston at 22:40. Moving at a good clip!

Bahhhh… the darn number changes still mess me up… That was L302 then.

L303 with CSXT 844(?) and another unit WB at Williamston at 2105. They stopped on the east side of the crossing and dropped a fusee on the crossing, waited, then proceeded west. Crossing failure? Seemed like it was functioning fine…

No. That's what caught my attention initially. It was a single unit train.

L302 went by me in Williamston earlier with only that CSXT 4xxx in the lead. There was not a dpu at the end. The end of the train was a small block of auto racks... odd?

D706 by Williamston @ 0628. 2 units on the front, not able to get the numbers. Is it just me, or is the 705/706 schedule all over the place?

D906 eastbound through Williamston @1618. CSXT 3211 and 738 on the head end. No DPU.

D705/706 (Sorry, I can never keep the number/direction straight), by Williamston eastbound with CSX 3211 leading and the CSX 738 mid train DPU. Don't have a car count, but fairly large train.

Eastbound through Williamston right now. D706? Good size train.

Trowbridge is in East Lansing. I saw D706 crossing Okemos rd, about 1 mile from the DD at 79.9 milepost. I’m guessing by the time I’m writing this, they’re probably between Webberville and Fowlerville.

K862-13 is in the hole at Williamston waiting on a westbound. Did D708 go East this morning?

D708 (don’t know who else it could be...) Eastbound @ Williamston 0930. Couldn’t see the single locomotive through the trees, but he had a long string on empty container tables at the end. Would these be the cars out of Trowbridge siding possibly?

Two locos light going eastbound through Williamston just a few minutes ago. Grain train at Webberville or Ann Pere? Anyone got a symbol?

I'm good! Busy. New boss running things makes my job a little more complicated... I'll be around on deck this fall. Hope to see you then.

I was there... Came in as an electrical fire in the basement. Very stubborn fire that seemed to slow burn for a long time. I wasn't able to see the extent of the damage, but I believe fire damage is going to be limited to the basement with extensive smoke damage throughout. Building should be struct...

It's the same location, Jim. The grading of the parking lot was probably done when improvements were made for the building over the years. That's not that far of a stretch considering the original image is probably from 40 years ago. The angle of the sun on the locomotive would put it mid-day to aft...

I don't recall a depot or freight house like that in Vassar. The background doesn't look right either. I'm thinking this may be Caro. That would be the only possibility where there are multiple tracks like in this slide.

V810-18 is running around their train in Williamston to put it into Webberville. 3 units, the only number I caught was 7791.

Q384 EB thru Williamston with the CSXT 541 leading.

For the users of the CSX West MI ATCS, what server settings are you using? I cannot get my computer to connect and display anything... I can watch the CN Flint sub all day, but nothing on CSX. Little help?
