Something just crossed CN at Trowbridge headed EB. Could be D708 changed plans and went East.

EDIT: it’s D901-06 headed East today. All of the sudden tomorrow is finally moving!

Sounds like D705 WB thru Brighton at 19:04. No visual and couldn't hear much on the radio.
I was able to make out "3211" from the static.

Edit: was V713-02 with CSX 3015.

Perfect timing, I was just asking about D901 as I figured it would be 4010 and 8008 again.
My friend sent a video of a YN2 loco pulling cars out of Brighton, that must've been 388.

D90106 now back in Howell, with a road crew no less who have themselves had to go thru the siding multiple times by cars parked on the main recently, have just done the same thing themselves parking 71 cars and now backing onto the 64 cars in the siding to get an air test on those. And, the Webberville grain train has to sit and wait for them to go by before they can spot the train, if, they have time to spot the train. So, its "Back Thru The Siding Again" for 705 & 706 until GLC gets back in town. Reminds me of an old Gene Autry song, "Back In The Saddle Again" Most of you under 70 folks probably don't even know who Gene Autry is, let alone that song. Am really showing my age. D901 will be here at least another hour getting their air test before heading west.

D705 had 148 cars when rolling slow thru siding at Howell this morning at 04:05 around the 71 cars now parked on the main. They had four units, the two assigned units and two others behind 738 leading. 3211 was after the 73rd car. The third head end unit, CSX 520 was set off at Webberville for the grain train that had only one unit yesterday. Not sure if the other unit went to Lansing or continued onto GRP, which was probably the case with now 213 cars. Not confirmed if the grain train ever got spotted at Webberville after D90106 passed by or if still sits parked at Williamston.
