Per friend in EL waiting for AMTK, he saw 4 units with 751 leading but 551 second out. He didn't get a good look at the numbers to the other two but thought one of them to be a cab.

If there were 4 engines, one of them must be a 4 axle type since the axle math doesn't work out for 4 engines having 6 axles. The DD at mp CH104.3 had also reported 726 axles.

Perhaps. Also not sure how lighting was for him. He didn't walk near the crossing to see it, just from a little distance to the diamonds.

Crew for G64421 arrived at Webberville at 01:15 to begin putting the 92 grain load together and had it ready to move east by 04:30. By Howell at 05:03. CSX 7208+322. Crew not qualified to take it to Joy Road Plymouth so with the north side blocked with cars, plan was to hold the train at South Lyon for up to two hours waiting for a Toledo crew to take the train off their hands at MP25.

Meanwhile, D70621, now more than 24 hours late, pulled up to a stop west of Howell at 08:45 as they ran out of time to go further. Has 107 cars, from the 177 out of GRP. With D708 not making it beyond Trowbridge yesterday, the 82 cars in the Howell pass that GLC left for them on Tuesday, still sits there, plus now another 25 in the transfer sat off last night. There are also 15 cars in the Ogihara run around that 708 did not have time to pick up on Tuesday as they were told to stay ahead of Tuesdays D70519 at all cost which was behind them with 191 cars, who never never made it beyond Lansing anyway until mid morning Wednesday.

Hopefully CSX Management will catch on, because this is an absolute mess currently.

There’s more traffic to Lansing->Howell and back than the d705-6s can handle. Either they need tk break it up Into road trains for Lansing or Howell only or tell the college kid that came up with this that it’s not working and they need to bring back Q328/9, which Abolishing 328/9 is what’s he wrote his doctoral thesis on.
