I just checked my video from the airport.

D706-25

3394 in the lead, 84 cars then dpu 3310 & 105 more cars.
Wasn't it CSX 3310 leading and CSX 3394 DPU 84 back.

G-76425 crew arrived in Webberville at 01:30 to put the Webberville grain load together. They were told to get as much air test work done in the plant as they could because they would have to wait for D706 to get by before coming out on the main line. That plan all came to a halt when 706 either went into emergency or the DD west of Williamston got them. Grain train was on its east from Webberville by 05:00. 732+5261 and 88 cars. Crew not qualified to take the train to Joy Road so they got a trainmaster to pilot them there from MP 25. There is another grain empty parked on the north side west of Plymouth for Webberville with no crew available for it,

Meanwhile, at 09:20, D706 still sits dead on the main west of Williamston and no crew for that either as of yet. So much for a smooth Thanksgiving day of operations on the Plymouth Sub.

Sounds like they’ll have to get that G764 out of the way first which means it might be a while for 706 before it moves east again. Yikes.

By Fowlerville at 13:38. Axle count said 710 which does not equate with two six axle units. Calling signals as D708 and does have a D708 crew on it.

Edit: By Howell at 13:50. 184 cars, DPU 3310 after the 77th car. Still a 10mph speed restriction so it will be a slow go going up Ann Pere hill.

Awesome, just made it to downtown Brighton - clear signal - will update when it comes thru.

Update - thru Brighton at 14:13. Got a nice video. There's a westbound empty grain coming at some point today too right?

Thank you for posting your video, it cleared up the confusion as to what the leading engine was, especially, since D706 wasn't saying his engine number during his location call outs last night. :)

Of course, glad I could help! - I guess I could use this as an opportunity to thank all of you for keeping this thread going. It doesn't seem like much, but I've always thought a chat like this would be awesome. I can finally catch all the trains that come thru here, and make the most of the under utilized Plymouth Sub
