There was for that 560, by the time he was gone probably a dozen people. While he was stopped one of the crew came down and talked to me for a few minutes.

Z127-16 came south off the LSRC with CSXT 45 leading into Novi. The train was tied-down at South Novi on the main due to the previous day’s Z127 set off on the siding next to it. Meanwhile, there is an empty DTE coal train split in two in Lincoln Yard in Wixom and a southbound facing unit train with CSX power north of Lincoln Yard so expect an E660 and another outbound for CSX at some point.

D738-16 is currently working Middbelt in Livonia and Q508-15 is near Wayne Jct.

Heard the RN say “no, he’s not on the property yet. The NS is having a problem with a switch at Porter.”

Must be referring to P370 as train tracker still shows him sitting at Porter.

Then the RN called Q327 to get an exact location so he could get a cab to take the crew back to GR.
