I'm listening to the scanner feed at 01:55.

K862 sounds like they have the UP 5537. They are stopped past Saugatuck dropping a helper.

Helper crew going back to assist the coal train.

Sounds like Q326 is stopping between the switches at Sawyer to check out their train after getting dinged by DD108.9.

G010 putting a grain train together at Webberville, will be taking it to Fowlerville when it's altogether for the road crew to get on it and take it to Toledo as G062. D708 was recrewed at East yard in Plymouth last night as D908 and picked up 33 cars at Beck Rd. 8 car set off and a 24 car pick up at Ann Pere on the way back to Lansing. CSX 105 and 4291 for power, which 708 will probably have again today. D707 will have 2255 and 6931. K862 will probably head east from GR after G010 vacates Webberville.

The G010 crew brought the single BNSF unit (8054) that was on the X115 yesterday and left at Lansing, long end first back to Webberville to mate with the CSX 4084 that was left there on the empty. They had not yet arrived there when D908 got to Howell at 01:17, but were tucked away in the plant before D908 left Howell and were by me at 02:58 with 50 cars. G-062 went east out of Fowlerville with the re-crew by 08:45.

Empties are around Gross, D700 around Benton Harbor. They hit 44.2 and 66.2 within the same minute. Y106 is at Fox about to do a Cascade Shuffle, and the K-train was called at 1210.

The K-train is finally ready to depart GRR eastward, after setting out a cut of cars not destined for Webberville. 106 is still working Fox, so we'all see how they decide to work this.
