Still the same outbounds at the GRE, 155 on the rear of 371, Trackworks on site to clean switches.

P371 is just now getting to the station in GR. It sounds like they backed down to the station. Hopefully the switch at Market St is working because it was OOS, locked toward the west wye, last night. The power switch to the diesel house is also dead today, something about it literally blowing up.
There are coal loads at Livingston with a new crew heading to them currently.

I've been hearing garbled scanner chatter for the last 90 minutes. Think there is some three stepping going on around here somewhere out by the Ch 116.3.

Two more BNSF units for power again today, 4965 & 6768. The G34101 grain empty I mentioned as coming sometime for somebody, was going to Webberville. It may or may be there yet. Another attempt on spotting it last night, with yet more continued problems with signals and switches between the west end of Fowlerville and east end of Willimaston, they took the train to the Trowbridge pass and left it there. Not sure if its still there, or perhaps D708 placed it into the plant seeing they didn't get to Fowlerville intil after 16:00 again today.

That lead unit had a pretty fierce sounding horn as I heard it while shoveling. The tone of it reminded me the drone of an old turbprop airplane. Like at about 13:00 in this video:
