You're hearing D905 because that's the same crew that recrewed D705 near Fox early this morning as D905. The crew brought the train into Grand Rapids, put the next eastbound together and is now tying it down east of town. It will likely be recrewed as D706, which is what it would've been if it had left town conventionally.

As of 11:00 there were no tracks in the snow or no drifts busted between lake O and Woodbury. ATCS currently shows them west of the WE Lake O (on the main of course) lined to the EAS EE Lake O. But they do not appear to be moving at this time.

D708 is up to something in Brighton, no information other than a horn and "D708" on the radio. - 14:37

Update: I guess they're going to South Lyon today - calling clear at WE South Lyon at 15:13.

Lined west back across Trowbridge at 18:13

Something got lined east out of Lansing at 17:28 (probably D706), as soon as Trowbridge diamond cleared up (according to CN ATCS).
On Trowbridge diamond as of 17:35 and cleared up at 17:39.

Through Brighton at around 18:52, supposedly a really short train.

That would've been D708 on its way west from South Lyon.
