An incident of some kind happened to this move after going east at 13:40. 708 was supposed to pick up 33 cars at Howell on their way back west, but did not, and never came back west at Howell from South Lyon until 20:30 with only CSXT 7693 engine light. CSXT 5256 was left behind, and unknown if CN 5774 ever made it to Peaker.

SB D736 cleared 7 Mile Rd. at 21:40. CN 3093 + 131 cars.

[SD80MAC]

Y106 EB at Breton in GR 12:28. Q329 lined through Lake Odessa but not past Elmdale.

[GP30M4216]

Q329 by MA in Lansing at 11:15 with the consist BL2 described. Lots of boxcars!

D708 just by eastbound with csxt 7693 LHF. They only had 5 covered hoppers so another big GE definitely not needed. If equipped with ditch lights on the hammerhead end, are they alllowed to run LHF at track speed or is there a restriction? The fresh air must be nice but wow what a crick in the neck!
