V728 clear South Lyon @10:51. CSXT 5403 + 5414 and 89 cars.

The DD at mp CH104.3 @ 12:57 reported 368 axles & over 5,000 feet long (2 engines & 89 cars). I'm assuming that was for V728.

D702-19 @ 13:02 eastward reported by the DD mp CG19.1 with 104 axles & 1,519 ft. CSXT engines #6918 + #2318 & 24 cars. He had completed his work on the M&J Lead (the Slug Set is back).

Where is the M&J lead? First time hearing of that.

M&J Lead is the spur in Zeeland where Zeeland Lumber and Vandenbosch are located.

D702-19 @ 13:02 eastward reported by the DD mp CG19.1 with 104 axles & 1,519 ft. CSXT engines #6918 + #2318 & 24 cars. He had completed his work on the M&J Lead (the Slug Set is back).

I know crews call it the “M&J” spur, but I’ve also heard it called just the MJ spur, which I think stands for Mead Johnson, which is where this spur originally terminated on the east side of Zeeland. D702 picked up on lumber empty at Z Lumber, set off zero. Happy to have the slug back, what did Barr do, change a light bulb

There is also one empty lumber centerbeam at De Leeuw Lumber in Holland.

M&J Lead is the spur in Zeeland where Zeeland Lumber and Vandenbosch are located.

M&J stands for what?
