Heard train horns at Woodbury about an hour ago. Currently appears to be a westbound train holding on the main at Elmdale on ATCS.

From what I was hearing at that time, that should have been a D907.

Now lined into fox and west of Elmdale.

Edit @ 2005: train appears to be stopped in the pass at Fox.

Edit @ 2155: Another train just overtook them westbound. Original train still in the pass at Fox.

Sounds like Q326 tied up at "Alrico" Rd. at Gray, and cut Paw Paw and North Shore Dr.
The bungalow at the crossing calls it "Mendel Rd."

The sign on for the road at Paw Paw Ave says "Alreco Rd."

The road is open from Paw Paw Ave to just east of the crossing, as the business back there is closed and the buildings are abandoned and falling down.

G013 is currently picking up the empty CP potash train at Webberville. They will back it into Williamston, run around it and head west to GRP. Same CP-UP power that brought in the load. D708 currently in the siding at Fowlerville switching you know who. They never showed up in the area on Thursday.

Have not see or heard any Q385 trains in over 48 hours. Last nights Q38402 had CSX4804+382, a few intermodal on the head end, almost 100 cars after including four five packs of empty intermodal cars. By Howell at 05:10.

Looks like 384/385 will be meeting at Fox tonight. ATCS has 384 taking the hole and 385 holding the main. Nobody is on the board yet...
