What sounded like V764, by Howell at 04:15 with 90 all CSX cars. CSX 309+3293 on the head end. Assume its going to Webberville seeing 708 had a rush move yesterday to get of a bunch of stray cars out of the plant. Speaking of, 708 was in the siding at Howell when V764 went west after picking up two scrap loads at Ogihara, and leaving 12 others in the round around, They will pick up all 14 of them up on their way west. They are leaving 31 cars in the Howell pass for GLC and picking up about the same left by GLC yesterday or overnight.

Saw a photo of a new CSX repaint from Huntington today. 165 ex YN2. First repaint using a new paint brand and type.

D706 is in Ensel and D708 is in Trowbridge siding. CN has had back to back trains go thru. Once it’s clear, d706 will go EB first followed by D708 Wb back to Ensel.

Didn't actually find it, but was sent to me in an email by a close friend in a group of 14 individual photographs as he chased it in the Russell Ky. area today. Don't think they are posted on line line yet, but one will show up somewhere eventually. While here, D706 is approaching Howell at as of 8:07 pm. 5392+5497 on the head end.

Q326 I believe has a clear signal at Grandville at this time. Hasn't come through yet, I'm trying to determine where they are right now.

Q326-16 @ 2:14pm eastward was at Grandville mp CG 6

Q326-16 @ 2:19pm eastward was at Ivanrest mp CG 4.7 with an Approach Signal.

Q326-16 @ 2:24pm had contacted Rouge Tower for his Grand Rapids yarding instructions while he was at Lamar mp CG 3.5 & Rouge Tower had advised Q326 which tracks to put his cars in.

(All of this happened over 7 hours ago for Q326).

I can hear something going through Lansing on CSX. Don't know any details, but D705 seems likely.

edit - 00:07
D705-16 is talking to the dispatcher about getting signals to work at Ensel yard.
