What location is "EL"? I have an older 2005 Time Table showing N. Lansing at mp CH88.3, do they now call that East Lansing? Or, are you referring to Ensel at mp CH90.0? Did D705 have work for N. Lansing/Ensel? Thanks for any info you may provide.
East Lansing - tend to be lazy to type it all out. Knowing the CH where I commented I could start adding that (84.43)

I don't listen to radio often so unsure, but usually 705 and 706 both have something going on at Ensel

Did have radio on for now and did hear CH104 go off which I have to assume is D706 but only hearing from 708. Can't make out what they're saying too well (using broadcastify)
Thank you for the info for East Lansing, I penciled that in on my Time Table. At 6:57pm I had heard "end of transmission" & based on what I could hear D706 reporting by, that most likely was the DD104.3's message for D706. D706's radio isn't the greatest and the Broadcastify reception last night & this evening isn't as good as it usually is for the DD104.3 area.
If it helps additionally, 84.43 is the last crossing for CSX westbound before it meets the CN diamond near Trowbridge

Been about 35 minutes since 104.3 picked up and me being near 91, still nothing. Had swiped away radio so don't know if D706 stopped in Grand Ledge since both 708 and 705 are at Ensel


Edit: D706 finished by me @ CH91.21, time of 18:43

D706's EC1 was only to go as far as the east end of Grand Ledge mp CH97.8 & to stay on the Main track & wait there. I'm assuming D705 will go into Grand Ledge Siding to go around D706.
