Hi, the eastward signal suspension is still in effect & they have to stop at the mp CH111 (Absolute signal for the old Sunfield siding that was removed but the signals are still there) & get permission to pass it. Other Dispatchers will give L303 that permission when he's departing Grand Rapids & they can just cruise on thru that location.
