Z624-07 spent several hours in Howell today cleaning up the mess of cars, that many have been sitting here for as long as eight days. Unless they filled up the Howell pass again, L305 can bring the cars for them that have been sitting in Brighton back to Howell, unless I somehow missed that move from Brighton.

You didn’t miss the move. Brighton siding is full and cars are stacking up in Wyoming and Durand.

Durand: north yard, two tracks in west yard and one track in south yard are all for GLC too.
