K862 just called 112th in Holland, siding to main. They called as CP 5797?? Radio was too garbled to tell
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Webberville gets a few potash trains per year. This isn't the first one, and no, they are by no means "regular" occurrences.

There was a train somewhere in the blocks west of Woodbury at about 11:15 pm. Heard the horn and saw the Red ABS intermediate signal for west bounds (normally green for clear blocks). Didn't see the train though by the time I passed through the crossing.

Crew had the potash train spotted at Webberville by 1am this morning. The only reason they took the CP power back to GRP is there were no taxi's available. Yet more train that didn't make Howell. It has now been nearly two weeks since we have seen anything other than a local here.

Yet I'm sure the maintainers are out working on the crossing signals and CTC, just in case.
