D70807, with CSX 4035+4046 departing Howell at 17:37 with another 57 cars for tomorrows Q329 pick up. Was surprised 329 today picked up all 64 cars from yesterdays D708 with only one unit. It has been an erratic week for D708, Turning at Fowlerville on Monday and Friday, not leaving the yard on Tuesday, came east of Fowlerville on Wednesday with four scrap empties to drop off at Thai Summing and five loads to pick up, yet had no time to do so as they went direct to South Lyon to either drop off or pick up one car and hi-balled back to Lansing, came east on Thursday to drop off 64 cars for GLC in the Howell pass and pick up 25 cars off the transfer, and then came east with another GLC shuttle today, leaving behind the four empties for Thai Summit and the five loads there. No big deal with as little scrap business as they could do, but this is four days in row for bypassing this industry without being any blue flag in the plant, or red tagged switches.

Q32808 by Howell at 07:55 with CSX 7864+452 and 131 cars. K54606 with BNSF 617+7448, and 32 cars went east at 08:52 but took siding here for Q329. Loaded ribbon rail train which I believe will go north at Plymouth. SPSX cars. Q32908 went west at 09:20 with CSX 4013+5290 and 84 cars. Should pick up the 57 cars at Lansing from yesterday's D708, plus whatever else is there to go.

Q329-09 @ 11:22am reported by the DD at mp CH104.3 but the DD's call had a lot of static & then got stepped on by another call. BNSF #617 leading & is probably paired up with BNSF #7448 that were on K546-06 on March 7th.
D700-09 @ 11:37am westward by the DD mp CG19.1 with 61 axles. CSX engine #4016 & 14 cars assuming the axle count was off by 1.
Q329-09 @ 12:02pm reported by the DD at mp CH126.3 with 332 axles & 4,701 ft long. BNSF engines #617 + BNSF #7448(?) & 80 cars.
D700-09 @ 12:06pm westward reported by Holland mp CG25.3 must have had a short wait there instead of doing work in Holland.
Q326-09 @ 12:26pm reported clear of the St Joseph Bridge with CSX engine #3094 leading.
