14:12, Q326 hitting Zeeland. Bangor cam revealed 5 coil cars picked up from Sawyer.

Earlier, D702 was here early this morning switching customers just after 8am. They must have continued to Grandville and possibly to pick up cars at a Grand Rapids, return west through Zeeland around 12:40.

That should put D706 in Howell well after dark. Speaking of Howell, D70807 went east at 16:40 with 32 cars, all for GLC. With the siding here totally empty, and continuing to head east, 708 must be going all the way to South Lyon today.
