The wells that were in the Reefer between Ivanrest and Lamar and in Old 17 have been pulled out as well. The cars at Brighton are still there as far as I know.

P370-07 is currently going through Benton Harbor. E801 met P370 at Livingston and is probably somewhere around Sawyer by now.

Cars are still at Brighton, but if the plan is still a go to remove the siding there, they will have to move them soon as well. Highlander Way crossing at Howell will be rebuilt soon, Material is now there. Not CSX's idea but the City who is paying for it, despite being terribly unhappy that the price to do so was double what it cost them the last time they requested it.

There is currently 90 cars at Ann Pere as I have just returned from there. Not bad for a railroad that does not run many trains on this sub. 66 cars in the pass for GLC, and 24 in the transfer for CSX, doing what they do best.... Sitting.

D735 was going through Holly at about 7:45pm, so it should be in the Flint area now.

Does it usually run this late now, or does it still usually run earlier in the evening still? I was looking for it earlier around 5:30-7pm and ended up getting D735 instead.
