[Tom49801]

L30207 & L303-07 met in Fowlerville at 05:30 this morning. It would have 04:30 if not for the fact the code line was down again, at the west end of Howell and the west end of Fowlerville causing the crews to take the power off of both switches in each town to proceed. It was 06:08 with L303-07 got to the west end of Howell, but by that time the code line was down everywhere all the way to South Lyon. As of 08:20, L303-07 was still trying to get across Ann Pere diamond and will die in the siding at Brighton.

Meanwhile, L302-07 with 3383 + 5333 on the head end (again) had 51 cars with 17 to set off and Lansing and 57 cars to pick up. L303-07 had 35 cars leaving Lansing but picked up 55 cars in the Trowbridge pass that L305-06 sat off there on Thursday, giving them 90 cars into Detroit whenever they get there.
