D900 LEFT SIDING AFTER 326 CLEARED. JUST HIT THE DETECTOR AT 44. D801? TYING ONTO Q326 GETTING READY TO SHOVE UP THE HILL. SOUNDS LIKE PUSHERS WILL STAY ON ALL THE WAY TO WYOMING.

TRAIN IS PARKED WEST OF LAMAR AND THEY HAD TO CUT AT IVANREST. LOTS OF BOX, LUMBER FLATS AND CH IN THIS TRAIN.
X80101, BNSF 3932, CSX 970, with 104 storage cars went east down the Plymouth Sub overnight, looking for a place to land. Other than four grain trains and one local, first train since late May.
Except for the 61 TTZX lumber cars in the middle, the rest were all CSX cars. The more cars stored, the less to have to run trains with.
This train was parked west of Plymouth at 15:30 this afternoon.

NB grain train turning west at Plymouth at 18:40. Missed the engines; caught it at Lilley Rd. Sounded like something -65 on the scanner.

There was a westbound at about 12:30 1 mile west of Woodbury. Saw the headlight heard the horn. No other details available. First train I've even came close to seeing on the Plymouth sub since seeing a lite engine about a month ago.

Yea, right. Nothing more than D90806, traveling behind D70806, who had 66 cars for GLC and has gone back to Lansing power light, and, passing D708 both ways, who is in the Fowlerville pass switching you know who. Regarding the earlier G01006 grain empty for Webberville (CSX 387+3386 for power) ADM has large long deep trenches between tracks 6 & 7 in the plant for something they are doing there, and G010 couldn't set off all of their train. D708 in turn, tied their train down at Williamston on the main, got on the G010 train and returned to Webberville with it, while D908 got stuck behind them at Trowbridge. And now you know "the rest of the story".

All the sidings with stored cars between GRR and Porter seem to be getting
cleared out. A good sign?
