sounds like a WB light engine move is cleared WB between EE Lakeo and Seymour. No occupancy on the ATCS screen, just cleared blocks.

Knew that was going to happen when I saw V87401 go west by Howell at 06:30 Saturday morning with two west facing units.. Power was 256, the SCL sticker unit leading and 8555 behind.

Fridays dead D908 at Fowlerville by 09:00 Saturday morning still sits with 38 cars. GRP road crew as D90604, called for 15:45 Saturday afternoon out of GRP, taxied to Fowlerville to steal the power from D908, arriving by 20:45 (five hours later) went to Plymouth engines light, sat off SD40-3 4226 and picked up SD40-2 8145 and came back west with 91 through cars for GRP, 8023 leading, and then died at Lansing. As usual, the local traffic sits, and the shuttle traffic moves.

The engines where facing the right way. The problem was with the 8555. It's wouldn't control stand had a problem and wouldn't move the engines but the 256 would. There wasn't any more engine to use so we wye them.
