Yeah, it sounds like the power from this E800 (or whatever the ID is):

has tied onto N800 and they're currently headed east at the 44.2 DD. Sounds like the power will cut off once they get over the top of the hill, then get back on the E800 empty train and head west.

544 axles (12 extra axles because of the 2 pusher locos), 7196 feet at 44.2 DD at 13:22 ET.

In another head shaking series of events, it is taken 18 hours and two crews for Webberville grain load G76401 to get from Webberville to South Lyon, and will be on crew #3 before it gets to Plymouth, eventually. This also including blocking dead end Lucy Road for eight hours, when the crossing "could have" been cut. People on the dead end could not get out, those out could not get in. Good thing any kind of fire or ambulance emergency's did not occur.
