Bob. I made mention of this 62-day fact to someone and they remarked that we should get used to it. This pair of locos isn’t due for service for 120 days as they are on a 180-day cycle.

[LansingRailFan]

D707 worked Ensel, Twin City Foods, CarbonGreen in Lake O and Woodbury.

The night before they pulled about 15 potash empties from ADM Grand Ledge so we should see that G-train leave (if it didn’t already) soon.
