D70126 is currently in Williamston at 11:25, assuming to meet D702 there with the approach medium they had at the east end. 701 had the two U.P. units from 702 yesterday, with 57 cars.

V75821, grain empty for Grand Ledge, by Howel at 6:52 PM. CSX 990+3045+932, all facing forward which means the power should wind up in GRP eventually. Second day in a row D708 has been at Ann Pere and had westbound road trains run through the pass around them. Shades of the "good old days". D708 had 50 cars, most of them for GLC at Ann Pere which they will put in the Howell pass for the GLC to pick them up there.

WAS JUST SENT A PHOTO OF THIS TRAIN PASSING THROUGH FOSTORIA AT 10:15, ONLY 36 MILES FROM WILLARD. SEVEN HOURS AND 5 MINUTES AFTER PASSING THROUGH HOWELL. THIS CAN BE DONE, GRAND RAPIDS TO WILLARD IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS.

We don't go past Walbridge. That's the rules and agreement. That's their crew district.

Probably not, since the 7300s are *supposed* to all be in storage!
