Catching up on grain train moves during another day in the hospital yesterday, G80419 with 3011 single unit, went by Howell at 06:25 and went as far as the Williamston siding again. They split the crossings and took the power to Webberville. Last I knew there was a train there with no power on it, but will now have to run single unit in reverse unless they come up with another unit.

Last night at 23:25, G126-19 went west with 88 cars and 713+5397 on the head end. While this one could have gone to Grand Ledge, with a train number like that It could have gone to Newaygo on MQT as well. First three signal calls on this train was G123-19 but changed to G126-19 from Fowlerville west.

There's a long string of CH's on #4 track in Wyoming yard. At least I think it's #4, but I just saw them today. No idea how long they've been sitting there
