CSX 4042 leading, running long end first, and Illinois Central 1027 trailing. By Howell at 14:35 on its way to South Lyon to set the IC unit off at Peaker. They had a medium approach at the west end of Brighton so perhaps taking siding for Q38503. If so, Q38503 should have CSX 276+3038+3419+833 for power today.

Around 6pm, the RN must have been calling up the route for Q327 to proceed west through Holland, as I witnessed the WAS Waverly upgrading from Advanced Approach to Approach Slow to Clear all within a few seconds on the main track.
