D708 03 ran west bound to Lake Odessa and arrived at the siding to run around the train at noon. Canceled the EC1 at 1222. Got an eastbound EC1 to effective at 1226 to eventually end up on the east side of the signal at the west end of Grand Ledge with instructions to take the siding in Grand Ledge.

Anyone got something on Essexville Empties?

They haven't been westbound through Woodbury yet. I'll post if I hear them go through on the scanner. I'm guessing I'm not going to see them in the daylight today.

That's because it included Q326's train. When I was in Holland this afternoon, I heard the crew talking to the dispatcher and telling her they had over 100 cars. She wasn't even sure if Y121 was going to be able to get into the yard on their return from Hamilton.
