Y106 back west at Breton 13:56.
d70720 says they ran this morning for a few hours, tied up at 7am.

Q38518 departed Howell at 18:30 after a 90 minute delay with a kicker coming into Ann Pere. CSX 931+2+8017 with 136 cars. Meeting Q384 on two track at Lansing. D70821 got stuck at Brighton who turned there waiting for Q385 to proceed west and, who has at least 90 minutes work of their own at Howell. 708 did not taxi to Fowlerville to get yesterdays train, but brought TORC 996 with them and attached it to the front of it, CSX 7656+765.

RN Just told Q385 to "pull on down" (assume they were waiting on the main at or near trowbridge).
RN requested Q384 to give up the EC1 promptly because Q385 needs to keep moving. They have 90 minutes left.
Q385 is going to try to make it clear of Lake O and stay on the main.
RN said yardmaster might have crew to come get the train but most likely would just be tie-ing down west of Lake O.

edit to add:

They are meeting on the double track right now. 19:50
They barely fit on the double track at Lansing it sounds like.

RN reports they are sending a crew out to meet Q385 and will keep them moving.
Q385 Getting an EC1 Ensel-Lake O right now 19:55.
Q384 was advised D708 was working at Howell currently and will be meeting them at Fowlerville.

326 is at the west end. Assuming the BNSF pair in front of the NS units came to assist from West Olive?

Somebody is at Howell moving back and forth. Got stopped. They have TORC 996.
20:55: whoever it is, highballing west.
Asked the conductor who they are, from what I can tell over the noise of the engine, he couldn't tell me.

When Q326 came thru Grandville @ 20:15 the Grandville police were paralleling the train in on Chicago Drive
and there search lights on the train as if they were looking for someone hitching a ride.

Q38421 after taking a 35 minute delay at Fowlerville (and blocking crossings) waiting for D708 to get into the siding at Fowlerville, is now at the west end of Brighton proceeding eastward. CSX 3230+5208+7830+5226 with 44 container platforms on the head end, 120 cars behind. And yes, D708 went back and fourth behind the house a half dozen times making their large GLC set off and pick up off the Howell pass, and blocking downtown Howell for most of it. D708 left Howell with 61 cars and now requesting to tie the train down on main two at Lansing.
