Will anything be running on the saginaw sub today?

What sounds like a G050-08 just departed Wyoming Yard eastbound light power. So far it sounds like they have CSX 8541 leading.

Edit: Okay on their EC1 from Lako to Ensel at 1623. They will be picking up a train at Lansing but their was no mention which way they would be going after that.

Q334 mile CH 142 @ 20:02 has the EC1 for Lake O to EE Sunfield for a meet with D707.

Rode the bike up to the crossing at CH 115.3 about 1 mile east of Woodbury to see the D 707 & Q 334.

Arrived about 20:58. Saw the red signal to the West (Ch116.3) so I knew that Q334 was approaching from the west. A few minutes later I saw a head light to the east telling me D 707 was approaching Sunfield. I also heard some signal calling confirming the visual cues.

Q334 arrived at ch 115.3 @ 21:04 with CSX 164 leading HLCX 8072. They were short with only about 25-30 cars. I didn't count because I figured it would be a long one. I forgot Sundays tend to be short for that train normally.

at 21:09 D707 reported in the clear on the siding at Sunfield (Ch112)

at 21:11 Q334 got an EC1 Sunfield - Ensel

at 21:16 Q334 released their previous EC1 Lake O - Sunfield RN then reported that they would follow D708 that would be departing Turner Street ahead of them. D 708 was going to be lined for the siding at Williamston and then Q334 would be able to get ahead of them. RN then tried to call D707 08 but D 708 answered him too causing confusion and delay. Eventually this was all worked out and D708 got the OK to depart turner street.

At 21:19 RN was then able to issue D 707 an EC1 for Sunfield to Lake O. D707 reported to RN that they were running straight to GR with no work along the way.

At 21:26 D707 with CSX 6108 running long hood forward arrived at the crossing at CH 115.3 with 11 cars. 3 covered hoppers, 2 open hoppers, 1 very ugly black and white tank, and 5 covered hoppers on the end.

I heard some other radio chatter about a malfunctioning signal at ch 95 near Grand Ledge. I also heard the EC1 to lake O released around 21:35 ish.

It was neat to see the block signals in action as I was positioned between the signals at ch116 and ch114 and trains approaching from each direction.
